      Jeet Heer Retweeted Yascha Mounk

      If I'm reading this right, Yascha Mounk thinks public trust in mathematics depends on mathematicians not talking in public about the well-known & commonplace principles of set theory?https://twitter.com/Yascha_Mounk/status/1300181769325608963 …

      Dear Dean of the Harvard School of Public Health, Do you think that this kind of content is likely to increase public trust in experts and scientists in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic? No? Well, then you should cut out the crap. Yours, Yascha Mounk https://twitter.com/HarvardChanSPH/status/1300108564032360448 …

      In the ancient world, the Pythagoreans believed that certain mathematical concepts (like the fact pi is an irrational number) were so dangerous they could only be shared by the elect. To reveal them to the wider public meant death. That's where centrists are heading.

          Is it really fair to call this centrism? I feel like we need another term like radical centrists, or moderate extremists.

          Certainly we can all agree that humanity's understanding of mathematics and the nature of reality should be in service of moderating incredibly stupid Twitter arguments.

          This is a myth, invented in late antiquity, by philosophers who were exploiting the fact that 'irrational', arrhetos, can also mean 'secret, not to be spoken'.

          It’s exactly the same thing with Shakespeare-wrote-Shakespeare apologists. They trade noble lies like baseball cards. Anything better than admitting the obvious reality.

          What? The "someone else wrote Shakespeare" people are just elitists who can't imagine that a "commoner" could have been the best English playwrite, had to secretly be some nobleman.
