Liberal thought - increasingly driven and blinded by ideology - will ignore the information in Mr. Wade's book. By so doing, they effectively "put a penny in the fusebox" of the intellectual world's feedback loop of validation and self-correction.

Over the long run, this tends to degrade the integrity of mankind's ancient search for truth, sometimes called "the Conversation."

The search for objective truth is the human race's best hope for a peaceful future. The degradation of that search process leads to division and - ultimately - violence.

Science is a system for discovering truth based on physical evidence. The language of Science - of which Mathematics is so large a part - is a medium of communication, but it is something more than that. It is a formal system, part of a larger system that enables people from different cultures, who speak different languages and live in different places... that enables all these people to make their contribution to the search of objective truth.

The Truth Shall Set You Free is much more than an aphorism.

As it didn't work out too well for the Nazis to reject modern physics as "Jewish science."
