another math geek fucking up floridly

It gripes me that most people are too weak-minded to notice, meaning that it's way more harmful than just him misunderstanding his own work... and Rogan seems to be the target for this action... helping it seem hip.

This kept me up half the night last night, making me crazy, crazy, crazy.

Let's assume, arguendo, that CERN did find a Higgs. That does not mean the math predicted it! The math is a language used to work out thoughts that cannot be captured in alphabetical linguistics... at least not tightly enough to provide a better chance of complete understanding by whoever else is on the other end. This is the lethal part of losing our psychic competence. The math did not predict it! Higgs predicted it! And maybe he was some form of correct at it.

Infinity does not mean a monkey with a typewriter will reproduce the works of Shakespeare. Infinity does not mandate that we are here for no reason. That's all about looking at your math reflecting your own big ideas and calling it "true".

Our entire future might hinge on these assholes awakening to their own error, this monster mental elision, and, heavy sigh, I have an eight by ten color glossy of that happening anytime in the foreseeable future. Shit!

Math is language. Period. Period. Period. Even if you put together the perfect rhetorical form to "prove" your point, it's still only language. Please. You're hurting my head.


always and any time....
