Glen/Marcus -
Once again, a nicely chewy (if mildly pithy) exchange here:
To try to summarize my own responses... I think Glen is suggesting
(via Aaronson quotes/references) that some folks believe that by
invoking an aphorism of a well-respected/famous person and finding fault

Like upsides to global warming, perhaps there are benefits to the irrationality
of scientists, like Robinson's and others'.
It suggests that science is an activity or an algorithm, that can be conducted
in parallel with arbitrary if closely-held beliefs.
But I'm cynical. I'm inclined to think
Yep. One of my homunculi does that to his brethren. This came out today:

I know. I just thought it was an interesting post. That we'd recently
discussed Feynman was only a segue. I could also have used Russell as the
segue, since Marcus quoted him in our thread.
The 1st part of Aaronson's post re: Gowers is more interesting than the later
stuff.

Glen, etc.
I took issue not with Feynman as a person, but with the off-quoted "aphorism",
attributed to him, that scientists have no more use for philosophy of science
than birds have for ornithology. The only reason birds don't have use for
ornithology is that they can't read. I assume that
Since we recently went 'round about quoting and criticizing people who quote
Feynman, I thought this would be interesting.

Moving the hurting part might somehow help it heal. I have no idea how. or
why though. Chi Gong excersizes, yoga, resting the neck on a rolled pillow

I have no idea why.

OH! that sounds like one of Scot Mcneally(?)'s projects while he was at
SUN. I simply don't know if if was a SUN per SUN project or one of personel
interest. Andy Ruhen (Android guy) I thought had something like that in
the works before his stint with Google I/O Sunk Works.

That's interesting. Tennis doesn't strike me as particularly good for any part
of the body, especially all that herky-jerky jumping back and forth. But
there's no doubt that *any* activity is good. And "alive" coordination with
and against other actors in the world is a notch above what I do.
Yes! I've forgotten who proposed it. But what ever happened to the CPU fabric
we were supposed to line our walls with so that our computing would wander
around with us, flowing from wall to wall as we walked around? I supposed I'd
settle for some sort of AR or HUD that paints whatever's there
