      Read my other comment here first which answers your first part - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49738762">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=49738762

      &gt; Thorough worshipping of Math and “Mathers”, like as if they are a gift from God

      &quot;There is no God and Dirac is his Prophet&quot; -- Wolfgang Pauli.

      &gt; Again, let’s stick with Hume, you’re the shit until you’re not.

      BS. Hume&#x27;s ideas of Mathematics and their usage in Science were laughable (they predated modern mathematics and physics). The mathematics used in a theory has tremendous predictive power and does not depend on &quot;miracles&quot;. So we know where it works and where it does not.

      &gt; Einstein went to death not understanding Physics as he wanted to.

      No, that is not quite true. Einstein perfectly understood quantum physics&#x2F;mechanics but considered it incomplete and philosophically abhorrent.

      &gt; God loves that essay Hume wrote, truly. It’s all fun and games until God mindfucks your understanding.

      Nonsense.
