Jon - Good post/link!
I'm about 1/3 of the way in, and besides trying to listen carefully to the German Accent and ignoring the well-groomed door-to-door missionary look of this pair, I was VERY impressed across the board. I find the Computer/Information Science idiom to be a little "off" but probably as good as it gets... it feels like equal parts "traditional western philosophy", "western apprehensions of eastern philosophy", physics, and computer/information science which makes for a rich (and in this case fairly coherent, if densely packed and sometimes obscure) mix. I'm glad I took the time to let this one get past my impatiences and filters. - Steve On 9/22/20 10:30 AM, jon zingale wrote: > On the Dalai Lama: > "...he identifies as a form of government.
