My mind keeps turning up Ben Goertzel as the one who invented this caricature - "Don't you understand, poor fool Eliezer, life is full of uncertainty, your attempt to flee from it by refuge in 'mathematical proof' is doomed"

This is a common enough trope amongst Dynamists and other worshipers of chaos that I don't think it needs to be credited to anyone.
