No real argument there, but it reminds me STRONGLY of my experience as a poetic genius about 30 years ago during one of three "scientific" LSD trips. Brilliant, I tell you! On a more practical note, intelligence is not so much about making connections, but about the selective pruning (or equivalently, weighting) of connections. I found this sizable document to be full of stimulating connections on every page, but containing very little that could be put to practice. - Jef ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=64329501-26f5a8
