I think Scott would be happiest with stone tablets and his signature at the bottom

Mind you ....very LARGE stone tablets and laser etched

2020's dose of Foundational Thinking incoming.

More examples of 'this is wrong because I say so, while this is right because I say so, and I'm a foundational thinker, ergo, what I say is inherently true and not in need of any material support'.

I had a longer look.

I see a convoluted metaphorical story about a building to demonstrate that a great system builder philosophy is better than a particular one. Then the metaphor is tortured and twisted to be about economic or social class or something thereabouts. Then there's a bit about Galileo and the Pope, and some - what looks like just mistaken- etymology that is doing too much lifting. And then it starts to sound like a Jordan Peterson piece about feminists being mean.

You guys are the bad guys in all of this, I think. Stop being the Pope, please.

only the pope is the pope, except when they isn't
