On the contrary, it's the people who haven't done advanced studies of mathematics that tend to be confused/wowed by the popular mysticism surrounding it.
There is also a certain type that leans into that mysticism for personal gain, which IMHO is irresponsible and promotes the myth that mathematics is inaccessible.
- User23 3y agoIt's not really a matter of mysticism. It's metaphysics. The question "why does Mathematics work so well to describe our world?" is entirely valid and interesting.
