I think your extrapolation is similar to the sort of bogus inference that the author is trying to rectify.

The method of proof of P!=NP will undoubtedly tell us something deeply fundamental about computation and therefore logic and therefore philosophy. That complexity theory is so difficult thus far is in itself philosophically interesting.

Large scale voter fraud is much more difficult to pull off, especially if the rest of the process is well audited?

What should I drink if I loved sipping on Hibiki 12 but my wage hasn't grown in pace with its price?

I bought Yamazaki 18 for $200 several years ago and I thought it was worth the price. It's certainly not a daily whisky, maybe a Friday evening kind of whisky :) I miss the Hibiki 12 though. I remember when I could afford it :(

Welfare cliffs are caused by flaws in how they are calculated with respect to income, not their magnitude. Now, what does your comment have to do with that? Care to elaborate?

If what we do is plumbing, then what we're pumping is salt water. Some of us get to build better pipes. Software in 2018 is better built than in 2008 for a lot of sectors. In 2028 I expect our pipes to be more robust. I also expect a s

Sure, that's the technical content of Godel :) If people chose not to take the Liar paradox seriously, I think they would gnash their teeth just as vigorously at the incompleteness theorem, and there is an expansive graveyard of attemp

The treatment of Godel's theorems in GEB always struck me as gratuitous: It treats a technical result as having great philosophical import. The philosophical content of Godel's theorems is already found in the Liar paradox, "
