Human mathematicians could become “priests to oracles.” Priests were interpreting the oracles (at least at a place like Delphi) according to the context of the people asking the questions aka participating in politics of that ancient times. Subjectivity was a feature and I’m not sure that fits to mathematics though. I wonder if mathematics as a science field moves more into engineering or if a different branch will emerge that is closer to that because to the point of the article, science is about understanding not just results. |

This is a decidedly anti-enlightenment statement.
