If you feed them stones instead of bread, the young people will revolt,
even if in so doing they mistake a baker for a stone-thrower.
(Karl Popper, Objective Knowledge, 1979)

Pure mathematics and logic are not knowledge (1:09:50).
Knowledge implies a transitive speculation of our theories
to external reality (experiment). If mathematics are pure or
we study logic, reality is not considered in the question.
That's why Einstein said (and Popper quoted this several times)
as far as mathematics do not regard reality, they are certain,
but as far as they regard reality, they are not certain, for they
are hypotheses we throw to the external world.
