Of course, maths is a tool, but that doesn't mean that it is just a tool, and Knapp doesn't provide any arguments for that conclusion.

Quoting from your Knapp link: Other Aryans could have easily gone down the Sarasvati and Sarayu into north India.

Or are you saying the factual inaccuracies are some kind of ironic joke that Alex Knapp and I both missed?

Having read the Knapp Commission report, I am no longer of the view I have anything original to say on this.

You're thinking of the Knapp joint which were sometimes called dovetails.

Recently I've been reading the report of the Knapp Commission, which was a 1972 inquiry into police corruption in New York City.

Among the other investors are CrunchFund (Michael Arrington’s fund), Marc Abramowitz (first investor in Palantir), Scott Belsky (founder of Behance), Auren Hoffman (founder of Rapleaf), Sean Knapp (founder of Ooyala), Howard Lindzon (founder of Stocktwits), Matt Ocko (angel investor in Zynga), Joshua Schacter (founder of delicious), and Arjun Sethi (former CEO of Lolapps).

It's cool that "Alex Knapp, a science writer at Forbes" has solved one of the major issues in the philosophy of mathematics by, erm, just asserting that Platonism is false.

Now, there are arguments for positions like Knapp's, but they're more complicated and contested than Knapp's facile post suggests.

The person they're referring to without naming is Irene Knapp, who left Google (presumably over her qualms).

Knapp's view is much closer to what that page describes as physicalism, with the caveat that humans are not perfect so our math is not necessarily the same as alien math.
