Human mathematicians could become “priests to oracles.”
Priests were interpreting the oracles (at least at a place like Delphi) according to the context of the people asking the questions aka participating in politics of that ancient times.
Subjectivity was a feature and I’m not sure that fits to mathematics though.
I wonder if mathematics as a science field moves more into engineering or if a different branch will emerge that is closer to that because to the point of the article, science is about understanding not just results.
Human mathematicians could become “priests to oracles.”
This is a decidedly anti-enlightenment statement.
