Mathematicians are not dummies?

Suggesting all the other are dummies? And even if that is what you are suggesting, wouldn't that make them the group that needs support the least?

    In a sense, yes. There is no Simons Foundation for laid-off programmers. Taxi drivers and truckers, meanwhile, are really just trying to block change.

    I don't know. From a practical perspective, I am more confident the world will need mathematicians in 50 years than that it will need coders.
