I’m not arguing that we should stop using math and, say, use astrology. I AM saying that equating the uncertainty of ______ (science, economics, agricultural mechanization benefits, robotic efficiency gains, etc.) with the certainty of math, is a yuge part of the problem.
Any uncertainties will be accounted for over time and corrected leading to a more clear and complete understanding of the universe. To refuse to go forward is Luddite thinking. Math is essential to progress but this Harvard chap can gloat over his understanding of Critical Race Theory as if he has accomplished something.
