I have become more and more discouraged by the blog kindly submitted here. The blog post author started out as a physicist, somehow didn&#x27;t make a big mark in physics, and since then has been going into academic administration. His blog collects his unpublishable (in the scientific sense of &quot;publishable,&quot; after peer review) thoughts about a variety of controversial issues on which he expresses opinions without as much knowledge base or professional training and experience as the older domain experts who actually research those issues. I just haven&#x27;t found this blog to be a reliable source for Hacker News submissions that lead to informed, fruitful discussion. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
