[Fis] INVITATION TO WORLD SCIENTIFIC VOLUME ON THE STUDY OF INFORMATION

Mon Nov 6 07:27:51 CET 2017

Dear Emanuel, Gordana,

I'd risk the unpredictable nature of the decision making in the running of
contemporary science. As some friends keep telling me : Van Gogh has never
in his life managed to sell a painting for money. (We all know the Mendel
story.)

So if Emanuel shows you that an invitation to expand a chain of thought can
turn out to be lacking in seriosity, I would add that a lack of an
invitation to expand a chain of thought may turn out to be the sign of
lacking the necessary understanding of the subject matter.

Anyway, the job of someone who tries to tell something basically new is to
tell and retell until the radically new approach becomes mainstream. This
is what I do.

My second post this week shall introduce to you the subject of matching
individual objects to places in the context of Sumerian kings and their
advisors discussing the non-individuality of their respective harems'
ladies. I shall show that we in the 21st century can work out a more
politically correct approach which does not oversimplify the individuality
of logical objects. Let me express my hope that by putting the subject of
interconnecting places and objects attributes in such a web of
associations, the functions of the brain will be activated.

To summarise :
1. Decisions in the social struggle centered on fashion, haute cousine, art
and science are equally irrational;
2. I'd take up the slot vacated by Emanuel,
3. Be prepared to be talked to like children if you behave like children.
