Free download from iTunes, and you can listen with the iTunes 
software (also free).  I'm sorry you didn't get to listen, it was 
interesting because of the new understanding of Neanderthals.  And 
the Eric Fischl interview was very articulate.

Bo,

Your bulking does not bother me.  I'd be bothered if RMP bulked, 
because it is his ZAMM and LILA that I joined this list.  I did not 
join this group because of your SOL interpretation of his MOQ.  It is 
an interesting interpretation and you are entitled to hold it, but it 
is not THE interpretation, and not an interpretation that interests 
me.  I am more interested in the nature of all patterns.

I understand all patterns to be conceptual/thought patterns.  The 
nature of ALL static patterns of value is conceptual.  Inorganic and 
biological patterns have as their referent external phenomenon, and 
Social and Intellectual patterns having as their referent internal 
concepts.  ALL these conceptual patterns equal reality.  Dynamic 
Quality is outside of this static patterned reality, and is unknown to us.

So what do I think is gained by understanding the nature of 
patterns?  As overlapping, interrelated, interconnected mind (not 
brain) stuff, patterns become transparent and cannot be mistaken for 
subjects or objects.  Patterns can still be pursued for a better 
understanding, but with a higher respect for the fact that then are 
ever-changing, overlapping, interconnected and interrelated and not 
different from our experience.

Some theoretical physicist have a quality point-of-view when it comes 
to Quantum science.  Some DO NOT.  Some are trying to reify their 
imaginations.

Maybe if more understood the nature of what think to be reality, 
there would be less necessity to kill for it.
