It should be clarified that, when we say that Dyson is considered revered for his infinite genius by other scientists...we mean other GENIUS scientists. The reaction of the masses in the body scientiifc is considerably more like that look you get on your face when you realize you stepped in dog doo.
Seriously...I brought up Dyson once in my climatology class and made several of his favorite points regarding human technological evolution, the resiliance of the biosphere in a warmer climate, etc, and you would have thought I flung faeces at the board. Not to be gross...just to paint a picture.
Extreme genius both attracts and repels mere mortal men.
