@Pelth How so?

Did someone really type a message, I can’t be sure. This could all be a cosmic fever dream.
Doesn't matter if you're sure about it
You’d have to be sure about it for it to be an objective truth
Lol, we can go by the majority through empirical evidence and say they observed it.
As humans we are incapable of truly verifying anything
Simple
If I didn't type a message then I wouldn't be talking with you rn.
No
We're capable of verifying 1 + 1 = 2
Maybe I’m not talking to you and you think I am
Could you give me a reason as to why it is not the case 1 + 1 = 2
But you are talking to me, I can verify through other peoples empirical evidence.
If someone had a different system of math it could be a different result. 1+1 only equals 2 because we say so
>different system of math
Such as?
And why would a different system entail that result
Every method for calculating Avagardo's number yields the same value.
mathematics is arbitrary
How so?
It's not arbitrary considering it's based on rules and systems
For example De Morgan's law in Boolean logic
Metric and imperial still measure things but in arbitrarily different ways
...
No they don't, you can convert between the two.
I don't think you know what arbitrary means
Perhaps but only if you agree on a common conversion
If they were arbitrary, you wouldn't be able to convert between the two
Pelth, could you give me reasoning why 1 + 1 = 2 is not the case?
1+1 can equal 3 depending on the context
Like procreation
That is not mathematics.
How is it not
That is biology.
A sperm cell is not 1. A sperm cell is made up of different things so your conclusion falls apart
Take this seriously and tell me how 1 + 1 != 2
When does 1 end and 2 begin
We don't apply the concept of time in mathematics.
