I quote

"Planck's constant, special and general relativity and especially quantum 
physics (and later string theory etc.) where all connections between 
macro-logics and physical or sensory experience are severed and our 
entire existence relies on mathematics and conformal, predetermined 
phenomena embodied in discrete formula and systems of measurement. Let 
McLuhan deal with the fringes of the central dilemma. Wall Street for 
all of the debased reasons pointed up by Alighieri and reinvigorated by 
Pound, embraced mathematical models to both mask and substantiate their 
felonious behavior. The perceived moral immunity of mathematics played a 
significant role in the looting of the commonweal."

I then say

Huh! And then lololololol
