Wise and Smart

a few mathematicians appear to be smarter than the smartest of all other disciplines. And while they may speak in nonsense now and then, this art remains the most demonstrated because failure is so visible.

a few philosophers appear to be wiser than the wisest of all other disciplines, but most are mere authors of fantasy literature and word puzzles, and their discipline is largely nonsense. And failure is almost universal.

a few jurists appear to be both smart and wise, but their record is not very good. Justice is a cult as much as a craft – and we must return it to an empirical science.

a few few physical scientists appear to be smarter than all that remain, but their discipline is largely a craft.

a few engineers appear to be both smart and wise, but wiser than most disciplines. And while they may speak pragmatically and skeptically at times, it is because failure is both visible and costly.

I won’t talk about economists. And we will just laugh at social scientists.
