I'm not sure I agree with the article. I feel neutral. I'm talking about some sort of middle ground. A concrete subset of a more capable ontology. Imagine if we had a Smalltalk OS/platform and something like Scratch was a seamlessly integ

Not surprising. The competition to get into a quality African school or get a U.S visa is going to be greater than other areas.

Article seems 1-dimensional to me. If defaults were really hurting the economy they wouldn't be giving out student loans so liberally. Obviously someone is making a profit from it, though it might not be trickling down.

"Philosophers" do care about computational complexity. System's Theory weaves through both fields in the context of "irreducible" complexity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_theory#Developments_in_... In that case the inverse is als

I think irreducibility is well received in philosophy. Evolutionary Biology not so much for political reasons. Sure there are are plenty of models that incorporate emergent phenomena but it's a heated area.

Nice try troll. Philosophy plays a larger role in the lives of mathematicians than in the lives of natural scientists. Many mathematicians have domain expertise in philosophy. Your "philosopher" is a straw-man by comparison.

It's also domain knowledge for system programming.

Da Vinci didn't spend much time in any given direction. What I see Da Vinci doing is relating what he's learning to what he already knows.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea. But I think alot of people take for granted the role our current system of agriculture plays. International food trade plays a large part in maintaining peaceful relations. It's what props agrarian society

In one of his interviews, John Mackey pointed out that there are legislative reasons for this as well. America isn't allowed to have in-house unions like those of Japan. The present laws predispose unions to antagonistic relationships.
