ha-ha!

farmers are dumb in Italy too!

but I'm kind of surreal farmer, I've studied crazy things in the last 50 years 
... because farming is boring indeed.

I think that Aristotle's 'hylo-morphism' (matter and form) is an interesting 
topic. Aristotle - if I remember well - also thought that there was a sort of 
evolution from "matter" to "form", from "matter" to " soul", from "matter" to 
.... "information" I would rather  say.
