Who is the daddy,

Mathematics or philosophy? 

Just a silly, fun question 😛 
 That would be Philosophy for me. There again I never was very good at math, so I am biased. 
 I think philosophy is a lot more fun if you understand math and vice versa. Both compliment each other greatly.  
 All math stems from things outside of math, but philosophy is a very poor way to think of how literally everything relates. IMO. Which is terrible.  
 Math is a tool to make it work.  
Philosophy is a way to make it acceptable. 
 God 
 Lol, actually true 
 Aren't both of those things just "logic"? 
 Yes, but one may still be superior to another, not that I claim to know which one it is 😛 
 Math may be your father, but philosophy is your daddy.
