Yes, I'm agreeing that it's a tool

Not a direct reflection

but it's a tool we uses to reflect reality

9.8 m/s, squared... because that's what we observe

hi!

we don't just make it up as we go along

ok cool

so making the argument that math proves nothing because it's a "tool" is nonsensical

how me get art role?

And just simply stating 9.8 m/s squared will not explain anything unless you go into more detail. Stating equations will not explain anything unless you know what those are tools for.

You still need reality outside of math

yes, you do

math is founded in reality

So, math **is not** reality.

math is founded in reality

Not always

You can do anything with math

no I can't

You can make up anything with math

I cannot divide by zero

I cannot say 2 + 2 = 5

You can

you can say 2 bananas - 3 bananas = -1 bananas

math doesn't have to be reality

no i can't

2 + 2 = 5 is mathematically incorrect

You don't need to abide by linear interpretations for math to be a thing.
2+2 **ONLY** equals 4 because you make it do so.

no it's not

Are you daft?

for an example, architects use math to design buildings

That's not what I'm talking about

Clearly

if they changed the properties of math on a whim, then the building would turn out very different

Again

Not what I'm talking about

you can't make the argument that math can be changed on a whim due to being a human construct

You can

What are video games?

Duh
