You must be new to Stephen Wolfram.I figured this out from other people's experience around him and reading "A New Kind of Science." He's brilliant, he lets everyone know he's brilliant. All you can do is go along with it.
- cr0sh 8y agoI sometimes have the feeling that each person reads ANKOS in a different manner; that is, it is almost like the work is a different book for each reader. For instance, there has been a lot of criticism of the work that nothing in it was particularly new or original, that he was just regurgitating a bunch of stuff that came before on the topic of CAs and similar. Yet, when I read it, I was exhausted by the fact (by my reading) that it seemed like on every page I read there was some reference made to this older work, that he was constantly re-iterating the idea that he was "standing on the shoulders" of other people's work... So how is it that I read it this way, while others read it as seemingly not having this detail? I honestly don't know the answer to that question, but I find the idea very fascinating (it reminds me about the whole gold/blue dress thing that went around a couple of years back, but I doubt the same thing is at work here).
