Well, to me it is not a matter of formal education, or math, or Python.
There should be a *fresh thought/idea* how to handle the unknown 
reality.  The existing (formal) language, being helpful, was created 
hundreds years ago and of course needs an update.  But again, the point 
is not a new tool, even very flexible like Python.  I think the *direct* 
sensor/data-driven techniques based on parsing/understanding 
observations (images, fields, etc) might be a step in promising 
direction.  Any thoughts?
