Comment on I'm too stupid for this
marcos@lemmy.world 9 hours agoIt’s not about not teaching the platonic definition.
The problem is that you don’t start at the platonic definition. Mathematicians don’t start there either, they start at a problem. The problem may even be a hole in some other platonic idea, but nothing is ever self-contained Platonism… except maybe for categories, but well, the problem it looks is how far pure Platonism can get you.
