    Unless orthodoxy is perfectly aligned with truth (and when has it ever been?), the truth will always be heretical.

        @paulg @pmarca orthodoxy does not always insist that there is one truth.

        @paulg I too reject radical incrementalism, but not all iterations of human knowldege are scientific revolutions.

        @paulg backwards. It's the orthodoxy that's heretical in this case. Truth is constant, my friend. Respect you big time. Had to chime in tho

        The Hindu notion of 0, zero, nothingness, contra 1, being, somethingness, was orthodox for India, revolutionary for Romans @paulg @pmarca

        am not impressed by your quote @nomadicwave My point is the Hindu 0,1 dichotomy, shipped by Arab traders was revolutionary to Roman maths

        @paulg Lies are heresy. Orthodoxy strives to always align with the Truth, not align the "truth" to itself.
