Mike I've been meaning to ask you would be willing to be the subject
of paper, its a compilation of the worst ideas of google groups?
Cheers
Under some conditions.

I get an "in his own words" and you make it the number 1 worst idea.

Then I'd be "willing."

I read Wolfram's book.
At best an interesting work of ontology...

From: Stephen Wolfram, A New Kind of Science
Notes for Chapter 8: Implications for Everyday Systems
Section: Fluid Flow
Page 997

Chaos theory and turbulence.
ultimately wrong, since in
fact the argument made is logically invalid and is classic case of too
good to be true...
Ah. What is the logical problem in the argument?
You believe math is equations.
My opinion is no match for your belief.
Yes I have my basis in reason you don't....
Your bias is in empiricism.

My bias is in rationalism.

"Empiricism is contrasted with rationalism."

Not opposites. Not black and white.

But different.

My Big Picture matches Descartes, Newton, Spinoza, Leibniz, and
Einstein.

Your Big Picture matches the Copenhagen Interpretation.

Call me old fashioned.

Even if you're contemporary, we're both temporary.

Your basis is empiricism. The Big Picture is the Copenhagen
Interpretation.

Mine is rationalism. The Big Picture is more along with Newton and
Einstein.

No, its actually that I understand modern science having spent a lot
of time doing it.... and having read extensively...

You don't even know what that picture is, as you state you know
nothing of modern physics...
