+164 The fact that we still don't truly know whether math is invented or discovered speaks volumes to how little we know about anything else. amirite?

We didn't invent the sun. We invented the names we call it. We didn't invent the concept of adding two things together, we invented notation for it. It's fun to think about but really not much of a mystery.

Discovered, obviously. It's not like 2 + 2 could have been anything else but 4 until someone came along and "invented" it. How is this even a question?

True, numbers were discovered much like apples, but counting systems? Those were invented, much like apple pie

Base 10 vs base 12 would help some of yall understand how math is as much a made up concept as it is the underlying language of our universe that we're constantly trying to translate
