Sometimes you sound like a right winger with your causal dismissal of things like the wisdom of the Great thinkers like Bertrand Russel, or the science of society and politics.

You seem to me to be enamored with the intellectuals of the past. But I never hear you discuss Don Knuth or Djikstra. I never seen any mention of the greats like Feynman, Dyson, or John von Neumann for Christ's sake. Watson & Crick, nothing?

Fermi, Hans Bethe, Maxwell, and of course Einstein.

Do you ever feel like your hero worship is a little misdirected?
