this is literally what complex ideas are- they are groups of simple ideas.
philosophers do say things which when deeply considered appear to be very simple and obvious, but so do mathematicians. there is nothing wrong with this

Why reading Euclid helps with logic.
When one corrects another's mathematic errors, he receives thanks and is called intelligent.
When one corrects another's grammar errors, he receives screaming anger and is called a pedantic national socialist.

Grammar is arbitrary
>>2144133
But when a mathematician says something that is not trivial then it is true.
>>2143975
it won't be challenged if the philosophy is non-threatening
>>2144196
This, They're not comparable at all.
>>2144196
Mathematics is arbitrary too, as per OP.
>>2146507
Just like that they're arbitrary. Given a set of axioms they're objectively either true or false.
>>2144196
So is math. Literally just an abstraction.
Everythin is arbitrary according to me
Ur mom is arbitrary. I am going to use this knowledge to push ahead the philosophy of Nietzsche
