I do recommend it if you’re a fan of consciousness and all its vagaries.

Of course, some math has practical utility but the truth of mathematical objects isn’t out there, but rather is in the minds of other mathematicians who give us necessary feedback or validation.

I strongly recommend this book. It goes into my read-it-again list.

The view taken by the author (which I 100% agree with) is that math is a socio-cultural artifact. Doing math is like inventing rules of a game and figuring out its consequences.

Are we discovering entities, or creating new ones? What is a proof anyway? What happens when we find out that mathematics is incomplete and cannot be formalised?

If someone had told me even two years back that I could make this while lounging on the bed on my phone, I would have called them crazy!

Shit's getting wild.
