Hi Harry,
No, no, you have it wrong! America doesn't keep on having to declare war to
help its economy. The one in Iraq will be good enough for the time being.
The oil pipeline to Turkey (remember? -- the one that was going to repay
America for its humanitarian efforts on behalf of us all?)
I am just a little more inclined to believe that CO2
emissions might be the cause of the present warm period in the earth's
climate (though the earth is far from being uniformly warmer) than I was
the last time this subject came up on FW. However, even if the earth's
temperature rises a little,
Hi ray:
We can add Nortel to the list of China movers. Apparently they are moving a
significant part of the production and research facilities to China. All
this will allow China to leap frog an evolutionary development process and
become our competitors within months or years. All under the

Thanks so very much for this; it wasn't new, as you point out, but you put
it all together so beautifully.

Pete,
Your description below is correct -- in as far as it goes.
However, the brain becomes very linear indeed when all the processed
material from the rear cortex (whether from separated halves or not) is
gathered by the frontal lobes and ordered in strictly linear fashion

Let's say that we legislate the general dimensions of passenger cars. For
city use they all are somewhat like a Corolla. In fact for all uses. So in
an accident it is Corolla-type vehicles against other Corolla-type vehicles.
We standardize on other things in our society (plugs,

I posted something on the list the other
day that suggested that the brain functions in a variety of ways simultaneously
or in rapid succession. Obviously, since no one commented on it, it was
not "right think" in terms of the present discussion. So, tail

One version of non-Linear thought is four directional thought
which places an observation in four positions or universes or it could be as
many as you wish around the problem being examined. You could talk

I feel that IQ is very much environmentally determined. A lot of Israelis

It didn't make the case against linear thinking. We can have a bunch of

Is "being in the zone" linear or non-linear holistic
thinking? When a pianist stops before beginning the sonata and
thinks the entire thirty minute work in 2 seconds is that linear or non-linear

Correction to the below. Obviously Gregg Smith
