Once mathematics and science are shown to be meaningless then people can free themselves from their tyranny. Mathematics and science lock people into the idea of logicall necessity Thus imprisoning them in the facisim of mathemastical or scientific determinism They argue for the logical necessity of their ideas and thus become a moral model of wat is the logically right thing to do.Once they are shown to be meanigless people regain their freedom and independace and are free of being told by other wat is correct. Or do people prefere dogma to freedom This is wat this author argues What do you think

Personally, I think your whole argument is flawed. But let's look at it objectively, using a simple example.

Have you ever had an object (not a lighter-than-air balloon) in your hand, opened up your hand, and had the thing fall UPWARD? I didn't think so - which means that there's some predictable results for everyday occurrences. This means there is a 'logic' to most things ... they'll work the same way every time.

Science (and by extension, mathematics) is simply a way of trying to grasp what's really going on and putting it in a way that someone can calculate the expected result without having to perform the act in question each time.

By the way, DOGMA is defined as: A blind belief in things, often without a material base.

Given the example I've stated, there certainly is a 'material base' for both science and mathematics. Therefore neither of them can be considered 'dogma'. Unlike some other methods certain folks use to 'prove' things ...
