There is a comment on our side of the campus: the only chance for a  
broad understanding of the world rests with people from over here. We  
have the chance to understand the "mathematics" ___and___ the  
philosophy (implies, not equivalent!), while the guys on the other  
side of campus will never comprehend our side.

I have serious doubts when people call these guys 'thinkers.'  It  
blows my mind, however, that the left traces back its modern 1960s  
thinking to a straight Nazi.

(But thanks for mentioning HtDP as a book in the same paragraph as  
these guys).

Good fun. Tackle it next, after finishing HtDP. -- Matthias
