Reality is not made of math, this is why scientists need to take philosophy of science classes. I’m a big fan of math, very cool and useful. And math allows us to make a map of reality and events, an abstraction albeit an incredibly powerful and practical one.

But a map of terrain isn’t the terrain itself no matter how detailed and accurate it is. Views like this are what creates bad ideas like we live in a computer simulation, that terrifies and confuses people. Without people there is no math, period. Dont make science into a religion.
