Yes, I actually plunked down the four dollars for it on last Friday, hoping their good Friday crossword would still be there and to catch up on the news. No, I haven't actually gotten around to reading it yet.

"But you said that Raskolnikov had no axioms, said the Master. So how could he rationally justify his actions?
I see your point, I said. He was trying to do the math. Solve the ethical equation. His hubris was not in rejecting the accepted axioms, but in believing that he can come up with a better set. So, in a way, agent [Ethan] Hunt had the advantage of being a moral simpleton.
He was the uncarved wood, said the Master.""
from an unusually discursive post by computer scientist Bartosz Milewski.
No, I don't know what he meant, either: usually, as you can see, his blog posts are usually pretty dense applied mathematics or related to advanced computer science topics. HOWEVER, for those who are interested in category theory (not necessarily anything to do with its diverse applications), I recommend his video lecture series, which shows BM to be just as capable of being a captivating lecturer, with as great enthusiasm, as anyone in the abstract sciences. Category Theory is sort of like abstract algebra, except just one step more abstract.
