>Now, I do think that had we not followed Aristotle and his basic logic principles we wouldn't have had science, nor reached the Moon, nor built smart-phones, but deep down we kind of all know that both Heraclitus and Hume are correct in their suggestion. I like to think that Einstein's laugh (apocriphical or not) was caused by this realization.

Actually, I think if we had started off with something more like empiricism than Aristotelian rationalism, we'd have gotten to modern sciences a lot sooner.
