Newton was I think the greatest genius the Human Race has yet produced, he was also vain arrogant vindictive and completely humorless, but those are all minor points compared with his virtues. The real tragedy was that this colossal intellect was horribly infected with the religious meme. This meme hijacked most of his massive mental machinery and forced it to think and write far more about religion than about Science. Today even Theologians admit that the many millions of words that he wrote about The Bible are worthless, and if there is one thing Theologians have a lot of experience with is worthless ideas. Newton advanced Science more than any other Human Being but I think it's one of the great tragedies of History that the rarest, most valuable quality that has ever existed in the world was not used to full advantage. Imagine what Newton could have accomplished if his mind had not been caught in a infinite loop, and I blame religion for that. > The question where in physicalism numbers are located is also interesting > indeed.
