[Fis] I do not understand some strange claims

[Michel Petitjean]

Dear Arturo,

I share most of your views below.
However, I would not systematically reject the contributions of
philosophers in information science (and in general), even if some of
them are unreliable.
But what could be a world without philosophers?
And are we ourselves so reliable?
In fact, your opinion below surprised me, particularly after having
looked at your web site, where it is possible to read several papers
you wrote (in various journals, in viXra, etc), including the short
manuscript that summarizes your scientific results:
http://files.arturotozzi.webnode.it/200000290-9c50b9dd29/Key%20concepts%20170709.pdf
Anybody can read it (3 text pages + 2 pages of refs).
Yes there are pseudo-sciences all around the world, and they should be
criticized.
I like to do that, sometimes...

Best regards,

Michel
