To an animal that developed organization and categorization to survive, everything seems organized and categorized. Of course this isn't true nature, but we can only study, record, and predict what fits our hard won evolutionary pattern recognition skills.

why is math so scary?

The kinds of answers you're allowed to believe here are already heavily constrained by your priors, so this is just schizobait

An emergent phenomena that doesn't necessarily hold fundamental purchase.

How so?

Because all you can present are continuous examples of pattern categorization and all you can draw are predictions based upon. By definition, anything else escapes, but is no less "real."

So long as you require cause to precede effect and the like, you're imposing animal constraints, while it could very well be that the event that creates the universe has yet to occur.

Their existence would obliterate fully half the schizoposting on this board. There's not many posters who are even intellectually allowed to consider them.

Philosophy threads are OFF-TOPIC in /sci/

Uncanny Valley effect, anytime you attempt to make a fake gay copy of real things to a high degree of gay fakery, its tends to scare real people.

Because it does, that's it. Philosophy threads with no testable premises are OFF-TOPIC in /sci/.
