I was struck yesterday to discover that a composer whose music I enjoy, George Dyson, was the father of physicist Freeman Dyson, whose writings on science and religion I value.
I can’t speak for the Dysons, but for me personally, music is a better vaccine against reductionism than anything else I know of.
(If you’re interested in how the Dyson family legacy continues, by the way, FreemanDyson’s son George is a historian of technology).
