“When you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you will find more hideous crimes have been committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion.”

But there is much more to be said. People in humanities that never heard/thought of CPSnow The Two Cultures, and since then Information Theory revealed as Jaynes' The Logic of Science made things way worse for them. (and us by ext)
All that I've heard for 10yrs at every confrnce read in many ppers 20yrs ago. Same's prob true in prior 30yrs too. Ofc trivially true: it won't be exactly the same. Many researchers too: 😂 "NO to incremental improvement", nah no sirree - only a "complete rethink". 😂
