<<It is true though that if you look at the problem simplistically, for
example, from a child's point of view, your response may be limited to what
the child can understand.>>
Mephisto, John Galt was only a very small child when confronted with the
problem that "God has no beginning and no end." Little Johnny drew a
circle. "I figured it out! I figured it out!", he exclaimed.
Years later, as it turned out, Stephen Hawkins drew an identical 'boundary'
around the Universe. "eh...ehhhh...eh.....ehhhhhh....eh....ehhhhhhhhhh!",
Stephen Hawkins exclaimed.
<<If you look at the problem from Einstein's or Leakey's viewpoint, the
information presented to you will be more complex.>>
Einstein's 'point of view' was formulated as a child as he imagined riding
a beam of light.
<<In my opinion, looking at the notion of existence from a child's
viewpoint, as you have explained it above, is a waste of time unless you
are writing children's stories, music, cartoon etc.>>
Mephisto, do not dismiss the innocent imaginings of children so readily.
Adults like yourself and Jfreddy come clogged with an accumulation of shit
over a lifetime! Know that because a problem is complex does not
necessarily point it closer to reality. The measure of complexity has
little to do with discovery and truth. In fact, it is often simplicity
that wins the day..
