The entire world runs on software now. It seems absurd to equate it with alchemy which produced no practical value.

- simpaticoder 3y agoI think you need to review the history of science. Alchemy did indeed yield many things of practical value, all of which were systematized and rolled into chemistry. And besides, the fact that an alchemy of one kind might be more valuable than an alchemy of another doesn't invalidate my point. It just means that once our field changes phase, it will be even MORE valuable.
