I find it depressing that every time Stephen Wolfram wants to explain something, he slowly gravitates towards these simplistic cellular automata and tries to explain everything through them. It feels like a religious talk. The presentation consists of chunks of hard-to-digest, profound-sounding text followed by a supposedly informative picture with lots of blobs, then the whole pattern is repeated over and over. But it never gets to the point. There is never an outcome, never a summary. It is always some sort of patterns and blobs that are supposedly explaining everything ... except nothing useful is ever communicated. You are supposed to "see" how the blobs are "everything..." a new kind of Science. He cannot predict anything; he can not forecast anything; all he does is use Mathematica to generate multiplots of symmetric little blobs and then suggests that those blobs somehow explain something that currently exists I find these Wolfram blogs a massive waste of time. They are boring to the extreme.
