A true gentleman.

'Once when a drunken lout insulted Descartes' lady of the evening, the irate philosopher went after the rash fool quite in the stump-stirring fashion of D'Artagnan, and having flicked the sot's sword out of his hand, spared his life, not because he was a rotten swordsman, but because he was too filthy to be butchered before a beautiful lady.' - Alex Bilzerian

RT @maxlugavere: Turns out over 100 NIH-funded Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s research papers contain completely made up data, according to new allegations. Billions in funding and years of research now in serious doubt.

Beyond cruel.

RT @alexbilz: Accepting a new belief is a form of "risky epistemic business." An agent chooses an answer to maximize expected epistemic utility, with a tie-breaking rule favoring suspending judgment.

RT @kikumaco: 名誉教授って、教授とちゃうよ。大学と雇用関係はないし、もちろん給料もないよ。単に「わりと長いこと、特に問題もなく勤めてくれました」っていうだけや。「過去に教授でした」という意味だな。教授で退職した人ならたいてい名誉教授になる。

Mathematical proofs, if correct, establish truths with absolute certainty. Once proven, a mathematical theorem is eternally true.

Physical theories are always provisional and subject to revision based on new empirical data.

RT @DavidBCollum: The Atlanta biolab explosion. As a chemist I have one piece of advice: get in your car and drive upwind as fast as you can. Ask questions later.
