Didn't physicists of the old once say they were close to closing in the the grand theory of everything, it was Max Plank or someone who was told by some Physics Prof that Physics as they knew was completely discovered .. point being there will always be a big idea around the corner that will surprise everybody
See that's the darn problem... "but it will require the elites" (not saying it is untrue), if the common man will not rise above himself, we as a species are doomed, regardless of what the elitists want. Build all the fancy cities, good infrastructure, good everything, but the common man needs external influence to do a deed that contributes to the civilization as a whole, what happens when that external influence goes away? we are back to square one
The way you put it, as though all ideas that ever existed only ever had opponents who were illterate and did not have advanced degrees in anything. But the second part sounds fair and will take that to heart
Out of curiosity, these proponents who say they've analyzed it through and through and think the theory is sound, their assumptions don't include rational players, do they?
damn this is the internet!! if people start believing everything they come across, it's not the source that's the problem, not the medium, but people themselves
> Over the years I've stayed with the easiest-to-learn stable IDEs/text editors. Yes, I know there are really powerful tools with arcane commands (Vim, EMACS, etc), but I don't want to have to stop what I'm doing to learn new tools. I want to code, not tinker with desktop tools or arcane text editors
Wut? both of those editors make coding so much more easier and the rest of the stuff is just a cop out imo
