I'm flagging this, there's lot's of conflated ideas here as well as some real trash. My flags went up when I saw the comments about saints/devils in math relating them to Schoenberg's introduction of atonal music.
Yes there were and are deep philosophical issues in mathematics, .eg. between intuitionists and platonists, but this writer strikes me as somewhat of a conspiracy theorist. Lyndon LaRouche? Give me a break

Almost everything submitted to this site is trash: get-rich-quick pablum, braindead web 2.0 wank-tech. And what's left over has plenty of conflated ideas. > this writer strikes me as somewhat of a conspiracy theorist Because conspiracies cannot exist? The laws of physics forbid them? Admit it, the man's crime is: making you think.
