the problem of induction breaks math - MysteriousWeeb420 - 11-02-2023
just because 1+1=2 the last time you thought about it, doesn't mean it will continue to do so in the future
but muh axioms say that 1+1 must equal 2 by definition!
that may be so, but you need to remember that these axioms have been shrewdly constructed in such a way that they reflect the physical world around us. this is important. think about it - if my math doesn't correspond to something tangible at it's very core then there is nothing differentiating it from a load of nonsense
hence, if the laws of nature are not invariant then everything begins to break down because the robustness of this ontological tether is not a given. math must adapt to the environment it is describing, the trajectory of which is impossible to predict

so when is 1+1 not 2

the virtual isn't nonsense

legit
basically why i am skeptical of macroevolution, archeology, ect

Math and physics function completely differently throughout the universe
This realization broke my mind

You cant even define "1", it's a man-made concept

it's to be a representation, not defined

Semantics. Without assigning a fixed value to a term, it's next to useless

Also, orientative approximations need to have defining traits for both the object represented and the representant in order to be identifiable and discernible from other objects, events or phenomena generally.

literally this
math and physics function differently throughout the universe, which includes time
impossible to accurately extrapolate scientific principles that function today to 1+ billion years ago
