Whining / meta-science

[terriko]

I spent lunchtime arguing about philosophy, and after talking about whether acknowledging not being able to build a full model of something was important when working with smaller scale models... and now I'm feeling slightly ambivalent about solving my current bug in the face of the general undecidability of code.

The ironic part of this is that I spent the tail end of the conversation wishing I could just go back to writing code.

Tell me about it! I have this argument constantly. Suffice it to say that it is basically the biggest ideological/philosophical rent in the canopy of computational/theoretical/psycholinguistics.

You can probably tell that I'm in the minority...
