Indeed, you should.  Alas, you will not.

You will not have any "wisdom on math" for the same reason you will
not have any on "Kantian, subjective forms".  The reason is that your
hallowed sourses of holy Objectivism lie.  There are no such things as
subjective forms; moreover, Kantian philosophy is not concerned with
the question of forms, period.  End of this discourse.

Sure thing, I will give you comments.  Modern mathematics is widely
used in physics, chemistry, and biology.  Consequently, Marcus is a
fraud or an ignoramus; most likely, he is both.  You, on the other
hand, are a tiresome, gullible fool.  It takes all kinds.
