Some quotes, with some substitutions, denoted by [], for the actual words:
"The famous physicist Max Planck was talking about the resistance of the human mind, even the bright human mind, to new ideas.... And he said science advances one funeral at a time, and I think there's a lot of truth to that and it's certainly been true in [FIELD X]."
and
"If you stand up in front of a [FIELD Y] class and say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, you won't get tenure.... Higher mathematics my be dangerous and lead you down pathways that are better left untrod."
and
"The more symbols they could work into their writing the more they were revered."
Question: who said these things? A disgrunted professor? Peter Woit talking about string theory?
Bzzt. Nope it's Warren Buffett. FIELD X= finance, FIELD Y=business.

An emailer sends in a link to a comment on The White Coat Underground. It's in the context of naturopathy, the idea that medical problems ought to be treated with natural means. Some of it's a good idea - eating right, exercising, that sort of thing. Those sort of things aren't going to cure…
As an amusing follow-up to Friday's post, have a look at this lengthy op-ed from McGill University physicist Jim Cline, in The Ottawa Citizen. Here's an excerpt:
Why is it that string theory has become such a favoured paradigm? Have theoretical physicists deluded themselves? Have they been…
A few days ago, Bee put up a post titled Do We Need Science Journalists?, linking back to Bora's enormous manifesto from the first bit of the Horgan-Johnson bloggingheads kerfuffle. My first reaction was "Oh, God, not again..." but her post did make me think of one thing, which is illustrated by…
The two most talked-about books in physics this year are probably a pair of anti-sting-theory books, Lee Smolin's The Trouble With Physics, and Peter Woit's Not Even Wrong, which shares a name with Jacques Distler's favorite weblog. I got review copies of both, but Not Even Wrong arrived first (…
my initial reaction, on the assumption that a physicist or mathematician would be too obvious, was Taleb (of the black swan). But that's just because I'm currently reading the book! He doesn't shy away from saying unkind things about mathematization of economics...
This one's also a gem: âThere is so much thatâs false and nutty in modern [X] and modern [Y], that if you just reduced the nonsense, thatâs a goal you should reasonably hope for.â
I heard an interview with Buffett yesterday on the BBC. He is a phenomenally intelligent, well-spoken, and utterly down-to-earth person. For anyone who is interested, it can be found here (scroll down to 04 May 09 AM).
