Whatever happened to "The Truth Will Set You Free"? I can't imagine
technology professionals or scientists not being interested in Truth.
It is the lack of truth that has lead to our current economic crisis on
Wall Street. Ignoring history or the truth is not the answer. No
system that tries to ignore reality will be efficient. All of our
systems, of science, of freedom, of the market, of society, are all
dependent on the truth. Any system that ignores history or truth would
be anti-exropian as far as I can see.
