>>12018972Computers have allowed the talentless to thrive through numerical simulation, mindless manipulation through mathematica to brute force solutions to PDEs and shit out papers, and physical insight and clear understanding of fundamental principles are no longer barriers to entry.
I have personally watched a faculty member in my department use mathematica to expand brackets with only 2 terms in each, with pen and paper right next to him, and when mathematics wasn't even already open.
I really felt like just smashing his face into the computer screen when he did that.
