Set theory is just a made up bunch of puzzle pieces (axioms) and some rules on how to fit them together (logic) so it’s weird to hear you lot talking about “existence” of a set with some property P as something other than whether or not the statement “exists X, P(X)” has a proof or not. I thought Hilbert’s finitist approach should have slain Platonism long ago.
