The interview, discussion, involving Eric Weinstein and Wolfram was insightful in regards to how Wolfram dismisses and treats others.<p>"Stephen Wolfram & Eric Weinstein: The Nature of Mathematical Reality" - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI0AZ4Y4Ip4" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI0AZ4Y4Ip4</a>
Wolfram is underrated I think. He's got a small army working on CA and the implications. He's also been working on CA for a long time! I believe that CA are interesting and underrated. Just as we underestimated neural networks and I think CA have fallen into a similar categorization.
CAs are an array of cells (that are finite state machines) whose neighbors determine it's output. Sounds similar to a deep neural network to me!

This is a rare example of peer-to-peer advice where he understood his own foible.
