Bo, Laird and others

Here is an observation that I have thrown in before but got nowhere.

One of the things we keep going around here is that we need a new way of
looking and relating to things.
Assuming the language issue is agreed on.

Until calculus came along, most of our arithmetic was able to deal with
numbers, shapes, geometry, buildings, interest rates and so on. Then one
day when we could not figure out the rate of change, a new method was
needed, hence the birth of calculus.
The way I see it is that we are stuck in a flat plane two dimensional
realm, trying to understand a 3 dimensional abject. What is lacking is a
way to relate SOM to the environment in which it resides.

We use terms like cultural clashes, a clash of civilizations. What works
for some one, may not work for others.

There is a show on TV that follows the lives of 5 married women from a
very affluent are in Los Angeles. All they do is "do lunch" and shop.
They could care less if they vote or what the minimum wage is. And they
love to get chauffeured around. ( tongue in Cheek here) In a way their
lives are no different than that of a typical well to do Saudi Arabian
Woman.

Back to our subject. We keep trying to figure it out, whatever IT is,
meanwhile the time and space continuum is moving along. By the time we
get an answer, it is no longer valid.

It's like trying to pass a minimum wage bill, by the time the bill
passes, the wage has lost 10% of its value from when it got introduced.

I do not know what the answer is, but what I know is that it has to be
dynamic, as it relates to reality. For example when instituting a minimum
wage, we can say it has to be 1/6th per annum of what the highest paid
senator gets.
