Indeed. It seems to me that he has a type of personality common in skilled engineers. He is competent and makes informed decisions, but does not necessarily explain them well (or at all if they feel trivial enough), is certain of his logic (which often sounds like arrogance), and does not seem to have much patience.
He is great at what he does but he really is not a spokesman. His technical insights are often very interesting, though.
- kordlessagain 2y agoTechnical gatekeeping is a thing, and definitely a problem at times. This is particularly problematic when dealing with concepts that aren't fully understood, even by their originators, as these might contain valuable insights despite their apparent strangeness. The risk of losing out on potentially groundbreaking perspectives must be weighed against the importance of scientific integrity. To address this, the technical community could benefit from fostering more open dialogue, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration, and creating spaces where speculative ideas can be explored without immediate judgment. Usually doesn't happen here.
