Hello Searle, In view of the slant of the last number of posts and the mention of quotes, brings to mind a few that relate. " It is the tragedy of the world that no one knows what he doesn't know; and the less a man knows, the more sure he is that he knows everything." Joyce Carey "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep." Saul Bellows The scary part, to my mind, is that these apply to far too many "Z's" of the US and unfortunately some are in the government. "Matter can differ from matter only in form, bulk, density, motion and direction of motion: to which of these, however varied or combined, can consciousness be annexed? To be round or square, to be solid or fluid, to be great or little, to be moved slowly or swiftly one way or another, are modes of material existence, all equally alien from the nature of cognation." Samuel Johnson, in "Rasselas" 1759
