We do have an ability to make workable decisions based on nearly no information...but they aren't always the best ones. If there are enough stones there to get across the stream, the other stones don't matter once on the other side.
But, that's not the only way to get across. Ode At 03:33 PM 2/6/2010 -0800, you wrote:
Hello Ode, When I studied chaos theory in school I was sure this was something that I would never be able to actually apply. Now I am not so sure... I have played with little children who can do a great job of connecting the dots, and do so effortlessly. Perhaps we just need to be a little more creative in our approach. On the other hand, who needs dots anyway... :) Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ode Coyote" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 06, 2010 5:02 AM Subject: Re: CS>moon on fingernails? -- how much do you use? > However, the body is a dynamic chemical soup loaded with intelligent ion > exchanges and [to coin a phrase] nano battery effects. > Anything done in a test tube isn't going to tell the whole story. > Given individual differences and temporary conditions, there may not even > BE a whole story to tell. > > This is like a game of connect the dots with most of the dots missing. > > Ode > > > At 04:59 PM 2/5/2010 -0600, you wrote: > >I was skirting this because it is a secondary issue.
