The argument is “mathematics cannot be merely a human conceptual construction because the objective physical world has a mathematical structure. If the physical world has an objective mathematical structure, we are not the creators of mathematics.
Idiot-child: “Feelings!”

No, dipshit, it is an argument to the best explanation. It has fuck-all to do with “feelings.”
The world, independently of our thoughts, has a mathematical structure. THEREFORE we did not create math, because we didn’t create the world.

If mathematicals exist entirely independently of human thoughts, which is proven by the fact that the physical world has a mathematical structure which predates humans, then mathematics was not created by us as as a social construct.
Fuck right off with your idiot “feelings” claim.
The logic is blazingly clear and has nothing to do with "feelings."

Physical objects are made out of elements which we didn’t create.
You: Aww, you have a feeling we didn’t didn’t make up the elements in our imaginations!
That is your entire argument.
You: Aww, you have a feeling we didn’t didn’t make up the elements in our imaginations!
That is your entire argument.
If things exist independently of us and pre-exist us, that is PROOF that we didn’t make them up.
There’s no “feeling” to it.
If you say otherwise, explain HOW we created things that existed PRIOR to our own existence, like the elements.
