Comment on Richard P. Gabriel: The Art of Lisp & Writing

Comments

It really irks me when people misrepresent the discovery of quantum effects as some kind of science-shattering event that overturned everything we knew, setting scientists kicking stones for the next 80 years. But it's a whole new level of wtf to say, “at least opening the door for a new kind of formulation (other than mathematics) for describing the truth about reality.”

What?

Otherwise, good article.

That and the line

"Scientists, though, perhaps because of their desire for accuracy and precision have had the worst luck of all in pinning down the truth of the universe."

convinced me it would be a waste of time to continue with the article.
