Joshua M. Epstein (2008) "Why model?
" Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation vol. 11, nº. 4 12
"Intellectuals have a solemn duty to doubt, and to teach doubt. Education, in its truest sense, is not about "a saleable skill set". It's about freedom, from inherited prejudice and argument by authority. This is the deepest contribution of the modeling enterprise. It enforces habits of mind essential to freedom."
