No. What we have are credible (etymologically and semantically related to the other thread about expertise) hooks into what it means to be human. There are plenty of other hooks, some much less credible but no less insightful (e.g. Crowley's "The Book of the Law" or Anton Lavey's "Satanic Bible"). What we engaged in, here, is an exercise in credibility and reputation. -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-222-9095, http://agent-based-modeling.com ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
