Whether it is Shalizi's criticism of Wolfram or `deconstruction' of the scientific community, my reaction is that the universe doesn't give a damn how humans struggle in groups or individually to understand, and whether credit assignment is fair or not. How an insight was gained is what matters -- what was effectively the learning algorithm in use and the evidence at the time that led to the model -- not who happened to experience it or their preferred pronouns.

Last evening when this came in, I read a few pages. Since it is all irony, snark, and preening, I assumed it is some flavor of post-modernism. Spent 1-2mins reading the abstract that says it invokes Bohr, and violates (as nearly as one can tell) whatever Bohr actually thought. i.e., to shit on the modern as a declaration of disrespect toward it, which would be the one defining property of Pomo. Then I tried to read the first paragraph of the wikipedia page Glen sent. Had this strange sense of dizziness and disintegration, which made me wonder if I had had some kind of localized stroke or siezure. Stopped reading the wikipedia page, and it all vanished immediately. This stuff really works!
