In other words, I am a self-declared panmathematician.
The good thing about this terminology is that, unlike "constructivist" or "classisist", definitely "panist" doesn't make sense at all.
I particularly dislike "constructivist", especially when applied to myself by other people.

@MartinEscardo@mathstodon.xyz If there are constructivists, then there must be destructivists. With some trepidation, I volunteer for the job.

@MartinEscardo@mathstodon.xyz I suspect that there are at least some people who think that when they find the 'right' axioms, the scales will fall from everybody's eyes and those axioms will define the right mathematics.
