NOOOOO...don't go! I might have a comment when I come back (I have to run to an appointment) about what you wrote. It is going to take me a little while to think through this... :( it is so rare to find a modern THINKER...I'm lonely.

Math is not abstract or infinite in nature

You aren't thinking properly. You need to start thinking in higher dimensions. If math was true, it would be true all the time, in everything; but it is only a close approximation despite what you are (((told))). It is only good enough to take you to a specific level and potentially trap you there forever.

This is what logic means, yes

in everything

This is where I'm going to clarify the dichotomy between truth and morality, because I certainly agree that one exists.

Truth is what happens, what exists, what is. We make physical observations of physical phenomena and derive physical laws that determine what is true about the physical world.

Morality, on the other hand, is what ought to be. This is beyond the realm of truth, because ideals are not concrete, but the methods of truth are still applicable, because just as higher truth is derived from first principles, moral structures are derived from fundamental ideas of what is right and true. Moreover, the methods of truth can be used to analyze morality: even though truth cannot create ideals, it can certainly measure and compare their consequences.

tl;dr ignorance is fake and gay
