[MD] Platt's Individual Level

[Arlo J. Bensinger]

[Gene Speaketh to The Plattman]
As Arlo pointed out earlier Einstein had to have an e, m, c and = concept to
make E=mc2.  Doesn't this point to an ongoing process where different
individuals have contributed to an idea?  Sure they weren't all in the room at
the same time "brainstorming" (as many of those involved were dead) but they
all contributed in some way to the idea.

[The Plattman Sayeth]
It took an Einstein to make a new dish out of common ingredients.

[Arlo]
Exactly. Einstein, in negotiative historical dialogue with others via the
collective consciousness, the mythos, of his culture. Individual and
collective, intertwined dialogically, and out of this collective activity of
individuals emerges intellectual patterns (ideas) such as "E=mc2".
