Scientific disciplines are like sports teams, and it is weird.

I have a theoretical physicist that does not believe in infinity. So he is a physics guy instead of a mathematician.

And I have a computer science guy that says all math is constructed. So he is a computer scientist instead of a mathematician.

The search for truth is really just the search for narrative.

Until one can prove one's narrative. 😃

@jmw150 There's a tendency for STEM types to ignore looking into the ontological foundations of their field and by extension their beliefs about why their field is so great. You can be exceptionally good at some technical field and then make the most elementary philosophical mistakes when you step outside of that field.
