Reflecting on Rota's characterization of Alonzo Church as "logic incarnate". It's shocking how much and rapidly one can learn from people in deep communion with their subject. Often without noticing what one is learning, including what is felt, what is omitted, & what is asked

A little example from a couple of days ago: (What's important here is what is omitted: almost everything. Or, to put it another way: you gain some sense of what a top climate expert thinks is really important. Priceless.)

Rota, I presume? I have no idea who you are, or how old, maybe it was Church, though it seems unlikely :-) (I had dinner with Rota in a Los Alamos Subway a year or so before he passed. Striking character!)

‘When interrupted..he would pause for a long time until he could recover’. I can’t help but notice that the known ‘brittleness’ of classical AI seems to extend to the psychology / thinking of its inventors as well.

It is perhaps worth noting that the sort of learning to which you (and Rota) allude need not occur in lectures. In Church's case, no other context was available; but Solomon Lefschetz (for example) dispensed this sort of wisdom in every momentary chance encounter, to everyone.
