The circumstances of human society are too complicated to be submitted to the rigor of mathematical calculation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Rigour is to the mathematician what morality is to men.
Need we add that mathematicians themselves are not infallible?
The mathematics is not there till we put it there.
They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong.
People who know math understand what other mortals understand, but other mortals do not understand them. This asymmetry gives them a presumption of superior ability.
We are more often treacherous through weakness than through calculation.
Mathematicians don't like it when they're associated with mental illness and sort of bristle when you say that they can't get along socially, that they're not good with people.
We in science are spoiled by the success of mathematics. Mathematics is the study of problems so simple that they have good solutions.
Dealing with complexity is an inefficient and unnecessary waste of time, attention and mental energy. There is never any justification for things being complex when they could be simple.
It is not of the essence of mathematics to be conversant with the ideas of number and quantity.
