"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost

His column was one of the better reasons to read Scientific American,
back when it was worth reading.

I didn't know about the Humpty Dumpty magazine. That was early reading
for me, in my (doctor) father's office waiting room. Then I, along
with Mr. Gardner, progressed to Scientific American - he as a
brilliant writer, and I as a stumbling reader.

RIP.

BTW, his philosophy on religion would have made for some interesting
discussion in this group. Too bad he never joined in.

You bet he was on top of things. I read his stuff anytime I could get some.
I was programming and running life on my home made 8080 machine in the 70's.

Just got a hexaflexagon program. Lots of mental work with him.

Funny that he never had any formal math education past high school!
