W. Wynn Westcott (1848–1925)

Suffer me that I may speak, and after that I have spoken, mock on: but I really think that they should have taught us this in school, a little arithmetic, a little numerology—instead of Only! teaching us the things that machines can do better, you know…. The Pythagoreans and the Greeks and so on weren’t always positive people, of course: they didn’t always see the value, even, in being inclusive: but sometimes one wonders what direction we’re going on (at least all the way out until 1955 (or maybe more generally the Oppenheimer years, not that those have ended, not that “Barbie” was Greta’s best movie, right), since now we groom people to become machines—or cast them aside.
