If true, that's pretty disappointing. We had to read parts of this paper in a philosophy class. I remember having to calculate entropies for one of the exams.

- gibbsnich 9y agoIt's sad, I have to agree. I feel like we (yes, all of us) are missing great opportunities by concentrating too much on directly monetizable ("work-related") knowledge in our educational systems. It's just shortsighted and works against intrinsic motivations to learn. That being said I learned about cybernetics in a sociology class. Getting to know Shannon, Wiener, Von Foerster, George Spencer Brown ("Laws of Form" highly recommended reading) and Luhmann was the most interesting stuff I ever got to learn.
