Bonsignore wrote: So you haven't understand yet. The fact that there are many "workers" in a field doesn't MEAN that there is not a single source. Nor does it mean that there is a single source.. You are basing a premise on a very weak foundation. In fact, all of them had a very genial idea, am I right? genial? I think he intends the word to be an adverb form of genius and using it as an adjective. And they developed it to create a whole field; each one contribuing an aspect. And the field in a way is complete. But also, is there a hierarchy of ideas in their ideas? ..no, merely a common desire to learn and advance our understanding of how the universe works. That is, do you have a root idea from which stems another, and until you have that one, comes the other, etc? No. There are plenty of examples of scientists on completely different continents coming up with the same breakthrough in science at about the same time.. then it is a matter of who publishes first.. after which they sometimes collaborate on refining their ideas. Depends on the idea. Obvious ideas will be anticipated. Genial ones belong to a single individual and may never be discovered again. You have to refine your conception of knowledge. Mine is a tree. We have been telling you that you are wrong considering it to be a tree. If you superimpose a web connecting all nodes of your tree, you will take a first step of understanding. /BAH Subtract a hundred and four for e-mail. You mean a semantic net? No. I mean a "work that has to be done before the genius can do the thing that will give the genius its label" net. Try reading or watching some of the stuff that Burke produced. I would recommend _Connections_ but not _Connections 3_. That will give you a taste of how progress in arts, science, industry and general knowledge happened. That's how it will happen in the future. ..But reason proceeds step by step, like in sylogisms, so there is a tree. Think of course 101, where you learn superficially, and then course 303 where you learn *some* of the same things but in deepness. Say, introduction to economics and then macroeconomics, and then central bank policies and then open market operations, etc. There is an implied tree, though admittedly there is an enmeshed web. That is only the _result_ of previous work; what you see in school is a distillation of all efforts into what finally was made to succeed. Even the presentation of this information has gone through an evolution. Text book writers and instructors changed how stuff was taught based on what worked the best. .. Like in a very net with thinh threads and then some rather rigid threads that form an inner structure with the form of a tree... However, your structure doesn't have the shortcuts from the leaves to roots. What you see and saw in texts was all of the shortcuts that worked. You aren't noticing the shortcuts that didn't work because they have been cut out of the cirricula. /BAH Subtract a hundred and four for e-mail. |

Never let an ESOL student use a spell checker or you will get really silly output. Actually, that might explain half of his posts. Someone just started typing randomly and then ran it through the spellchecker numerous times, randomly selecting words from the choices lists presented when something ambiguous fails the spellcheck. Have you used the assumption that English is not the poster's first writing language? Genial is an obvious word to write in this case. I'm getting so ****ing fed up with people who judge the thinking ability of other people just because they don't act and talk like Hollywood superstars. /BAH Subtract a hundred and four for e-mail. |

Try looking at some of "Fabrizio"'s other recent postings. It is possible that the kid is a kook. The subject matter interests me and I'm dealing with an aspect of it in another newsgroup in trying to solve a problem we have. Now, I accept that it certainly is possible that the OP is unreasonable. Personal attacks are not my method of arguing. Personal attacks were simply not allowed when we did our arguing at work; it's a waste of time and does nothing towards solving nor resolving the disagreement. ****ing on the use of a word and ignoring the issue isn't production and can be viewed as intentionally counterproductive. Now, I interpreted your post as an attempt to be intentionally counterproductive. The probability of my interpretation being wrong is 95%. /BAH Subtract a hundred and four for e-mail. |

He's just starting a little later than usual...but at least he's starting. Whether he continues will determine if he's a crank. /BAH Subtract a hundred and four for e-mail. |

Now, that's "genial" of you! ![]() grin "Fabrizio" is having a lot of fun crossposting into a lot of places where he is both annoying, and dominating local traffic in the newsgroup. The kid does have a lot of snot that needs wiping. Everybody goes through that stage once; some never grow out of it. I have even sunk so low as to Meow him, but nobody else is helping and he's decided to ignore it. Oh, is that what Meow'ing means. FWIW just because he's a kook doesn't mean he's unintelligent, or not able to help you with your problem. Which is why I have him a break. If he's a crank, he'll abuse the privilege and I'll spend my time elsewhere. /BAH Subtract a hundred and four for e-mail. |
