Platonist mathematicians do exist.


The vast majority of mathematicians are platonists. They think math is real.



They might not admit it if they're not drunk enough.


I'll edit out the part of my comment where I suggested they don't.


You can't, so you didn't.


Weirdly aggressive, but fair enough.


No aggression intended; I just wanted to clarify for anyone reading the thread afterwards who thought I might be responding to a different version of your comment than the one that's there now.
