I am probably not special. Either way, I can speak in a strict fashion which sort of jives with formal logic. I referenced Hilbert's program and the assumption that mathematics has a foundation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_mathematics#Foundational_crisis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_mathematics#Fou... I make a leap of faith here; that humans can not abandon the need to find meaning. From this I surmise that there does exists a deep rift in the mathematical community. - Both Formalism and Intuitionism remain today, and if an understanding has been reached between these schools then I must have become impervious of the fact...
