Replying to LO29764 --
Dear reader; dear At and LeO,
Reading your answers, made me think:
1. What "is" the idea of LO?
2. What "is" the goal of LO?
3. Why these questions?
Perhaps that is our purpose - if any - : to formulate ideas and goals!
Until now organizing was erratic, based on chance and natural selection.
There were no records. Thanks to our mind, our intellect, we're able to
create new forms, new (external) organs on purpose and can make selections
based on a goal. We're able to store and retrieve information from the
past. Briljant. LO might be the subject of the famous question: "what is
the use of new born baby?" There you have it, wise men!
Best for 2003,
Jan Lelie
