Can anyone show me (or tell me how to produce) a list of [self-professed] contemporary #platonist mathematicians? I keep reading 'many mathematicians are platonists', and I could even write so myself, but is it backed by any kind of (empirical, individ based) evidence?

Intended as a (self-)criticism, there is also a positive aspect to this concern: I would genuinely like to compare texts of platonist and 'non-platonist' or 'mainstream' mathematicians.

Prof. M. David Litwa segment on Saturninus of Antioch, his series on #Gnostic, #Platonist, #Pythagorean or #ChristianMystics of antiquity. Saturninus reminds me of the prophet #Mani (#Manichaeanism), also the #Cathars, with an outer circle of normies with a newly acquired faith or belief-system (religion 101) and inner circle of initiates with #vegetarianism being one of the ethical requirements to qualify for #initiation into the #mysteries of #spiritual practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE4LBiSgqRQ&list=PLQl0BipQXVy436zEJKefujiWraA1FSpKQ&index=6&ab_channel=M.DavidLitwa
