Amount of "I" and "me" is astonishing. Didn't find anything on falsifiable criteria -- any new theory should be able, at least in theory, to be tested for being not true. | |||||||||||||||||

Isn't this his personal blog? The domain name is "stephenwolfram.com", this is his personal website. Of course there will be "I"'s and "me"'s — this website is about him and what he does. As for falsifiability: > You have some particular kind of rule. And it looks as if it’s only going to behave in some particular way. But no, eventually you find a case where it does something completely different, and unexpected. So I guess to falsify a theory about some rule you just have to run the rule long enough to see something the theory doesn't predict. | |||||||||||||||||

Some things, like the foundations of mathematics, are not falsifiable. You judge them by how useful they are. Ruliology is a bit like that. | |||||||||||||||||

That's his style. It's not just his blog style, it's the same in his book. https://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200207/stephen_wolframs_unfor... | |||||||||||||||||
