Bodvar announced:
Of course the old Egyptians, Babylonians, Stonehengers and every
culture known or unknown were as INTELLIGENT as present day
humankind, they induced, deduced, conceived, calculated and built
complicated edifices without having the faintest INTELLECTUAL
knowledge that this was "theoretical planning", "deductive thinking".
Also, without the least knowledge of hypotenuses, legs and squares
upon these, they applied all geometrical relationships on to their work.
Ron:
The tablets and papyrus found show the use of algebra and geometry
used for theoretical planning 300 to 1000 yrs before Pythagoras was
said to have been born. Babylonian, Indian and chinease all before
Pythagoras . Pythagoras was the first to work out a proof to the theorem
however.

Bodvar:
Where did Pirsig ask this? I don't doubt it, but would like to know the
context.
Ron:
In the Turner letter silly, thought you had that thing memorized.
