The whole blog post comes across as someone desperately wanting to sound clever.

and succeeding about as well as Trump does when he tries to sound clever.

Scary ******* fact time. A lot of people believe it.....

The ideal candidate might, for example, have a degree in maths and economics, worked at the LHC in one summer, worked with a quant fund another summer, and written software for a YC startup in a third summer!

Job/s of the day (who the f is in charge of the country?)

Wanted

Weirdos and misfits with odd skills
theoretical computer science (including problems like the complexity of probabilistic inference in Bayesian networks, which is in the NP–hard complexity class),
ideas on ‘computational rationality’ and meta-reasoning from AI, cognitive science and so on.
It’s a bonus if you can code but it isn’t necessary.
The ideal candidate might, for example, have a degree in maths and economics, worked at the LHC in one summer, worked with a quant fund another summer, and written software for a YC startup in a third summer!
lessons from the failures of projects like high speed rail project
