In math class today we discussed multiple questions such as if math would “exist” without humans. For one of the questions (are there any absolute truths in math), we were directed to record our discussion (mine was with Caitlin, Sara, and Karina).

Are there still things out for humans to discover and can we ever discover everything? You raise interesting points about perceptions. We can’t help but have bias and values and beliefs that we take for granted. It’s cultural. We take these things to be true because they are they only truth we have known, but what if we lived in another culture. For example, we believe in the freedom of expression, the right to abortion, that everyone should have an education. Are these truths? Can you see the way you perceive the world? Has anyone any challenged what you believe to be fundamentally true? Can you identify your own values?
Great job engaging in a philosophical dialogue.
