He tried to disrupt Bush v Gore. I tried to get something concise about his position on that but failed to find much outright wrong with what he said. Incidentally, his first degree was in math at Harvard. Should give those of us who think scientists are any more objective some pause...

Is that Jerry Lewis (the guy the French think is a genius)?

I forwarded the book title to a professor and told him to include it in his graduate historiography seminar. Awesome.

You must be joking, mft! Why would you want to read such nonsense?

Yes, but it's in the Awesome Because It's So Absurd category.

Ah. Let me know how it goes. Maybe I can find a cosmological interpretation of gay rights or something to add...

Name those Idiots, JJ, who think that scientists, outside of their work, are any more objective? Reasonable?

JJ noted: "incidentally, his first degree was in math at Harvard."

Seven Idiot Mathematicians [outside of their math] in the 20th Century:
Teichmuller, Bieberbach, Smale, Pontryagin, Struik, Grothendieck, Fomenko, [extra: Trotsky's bodyguard].
And, as JJ and AI can attest from drawing on life experience, this is just a small sample from the topfloaters in the set of fish in the barrel.

AA, AI once argues Hugh Hewitt was a smart guy because he's a professor or something. I entioned Juan Williams and the discussion ceased immediately. Since then I drag AI's ego through the mud usually to ask for another bottle of VCP.

JJ: Yeah, yeah, yeah -- resting on your laurels from days gone by.

AA: Of those 7 guys you listed, I saw Smale recently (last Fall) give a talk. I'd say he better follow the advice of the French, and take a long nap.
