A lot of people offload responsibility or their preconceptions onto math and logic without being consciously aware they've done so.
There was a discussion here a week ago that essentially distilled the entire existence of the Sentinelese people into measurable metrics. The argument assumed that what's measurable is worth measuring.
It's this kind of intelligence absent from wisdom that makes talking with logicmaxxed folks so frustrating.
That's sounds insightful, but do you have a concrete example of something you've experienced? I just can't picture people feeling liberated by disorganization.
Given that multi-variable calculus is accessible to college freshmen, and millions learn it every year, it's hardly incomprehensible.
You'd be right to be suspicious of the Space Shuttle though.
You may have noticed that it's not going to space anymore. The excessive complexity of that system (and the resulting disasters) is the reason for that.
Simpler (and far less capable) Russian spaceships, meanwhile, kept operating.
Complexity may be unavoidable, but it better yield more value than it takes away. It's a trade-off. There's nothing good about complexity in itself.
As a counterpoint, Wirth-style languages have basically remained the same for decades whereas work on type theory has repeatedly moved the boundaries of comprehensibility.
