MATH IS TOO ABSOLUTE


I can't do math. I'm a philosopher. Ask me what the meaning of life is; ask me if there is an after life; ask me what person hood is, or if apes should be given the same basic rights as a human. Ask me what is right and wrong; ask me what reality consists of; ask me if there is a god. I could prove or disprove the existence of a supreme being or higher power quicker, easier, and much better than I could ever participate in anything as concrete as mathematics. There's a word for philosophers who solve math problems... physicist. Math is just too absolute.
