There are two epistemic poles: the atomistic and the probabilistic. The author subscribes to a rule-based atomistic worldview, asserting that any perspective misaligned with this framework is incorrect. Currently, academia is undergoing a paradigm shift in the field of artificial intelligence. Symbolic AI, which was the initial research focus, is rapidly being replaced by statistical AI methodologies. This transition diminishes the relevance of atomistic or symbolic scientists, making them worry they might become irrelevant.
