Great Quote / Great Rant!
Kevin Baker, writing at
The Smallest Minority has posted an excellent, long and thoughtful
rant on the origins of the environmentalist movement.
The rant visits and weaves together several intterrelated ideas and is impossible to excerpt -- go and read the entire thing, it's well worth the ten minutes or so.
The quote is from Freeman Dyson:
Engineering is very different from physics.
A good physicist is a man with new ideas.
A good engineer is a man who makes something that works with as few new ideas as possible.
Good stuff...
