Mathematically proved
In light of recent discussions I had about the interface between science and Ideology, or politic, I found this quote from Sergey Brin’s father ( a remarkable man by his on merit) fascinating:
So Michael became an economist for GOSPLAN, the central planning agency. “I was trying to prove that, in a few years, living standards in Russia would be higher than in the United States,” he says. “And I proved it. I know enough about math to prove whatever you want.”
