Taken from a post about Mathmatical Escher Sentences, including : “That mathematics is purely objective is unequivocally false, and teaching it is even much less so.”
Found on Twitter, and part of this Language Log post:
Tom Ace writes: (Possibly) an Escher sentence: “The concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false, and teaching it is even much less so.” The Escher Sentence appears on page 65 of this document.
