Great article. I think we lose the forrest and trees in math. Similar in computer science. Many times we get hung up on language syntax to miss the beauty underneath. (For example: Godel's incompleteness theorum or the implications of Turing machines) On one tangents.... I think we mathematicians are a little bit behind the curve. We are not fully aware of the Frankenstein that we may have already created or could create. I think that's another aspect of this responsibility of mathematicians to take a more public role—to educate the public by giving them access to the beauty and power of mathematics. Interesting tie in to the importance of ethics for mathematics. It's not just a bunch of folks writing proofs about numbers in journals.
