 "Math is beyond human invention or formalization." 
 The fuck it is 
 Any person can learn and contribute to math
Heck, some even manage to break it with better math 
 Those are called managers. 😅 
 Ok go for it. Let's see you "break" math 
 Can’t break math, dear, but the understanding that is flawed.

Math favors conclusive logic
Abstract or not

Wanna make a wager? 
 First you said some can break math. Now you say math can't be broken.

How could I wager with someone so inconsistent? 
 Because only flawed math breaks.
Math by definition doesn’t, but what is the point of stating the obvious. 
 Are you intentionally thick? 
 Im afraid that math kinda breaks all sorts of things down into tears of an ocean to float in. 
 How math breaks guess a matter if understanding but i dont have that fear. 
 Do we feel broken? 
 That penny somehow got me thinking 

Can only fathom the horrors its causing there 
 Game of life, standing firm 
 So thats a no then? 
 You can't even decide what it is you're trying to say.

Hard no
