fucking lol. And I mean that in the literal sense. That is hilarious. I mean sure Von Neumann maybe didn't go as deep as some others, but to dismiss Turing as just a hacker?

Thanks for sharing. It is possible Wolfram contributes something to physics by proving how far you can go with (a) constructive mathematics, but it is insane that he seems to miss the equivalences between past work, which is ironic given his entire focus of research.

I thought Wolfram being a raging narcissist was common knowledge.
