[MD] Know-how - an aside

[MarshaV]

Andre,

Somewhere RMP states that the only way to change society is 
one individual at a time.  (I cannot find the quote at the moment.) 
I agree with Platt's insistence on the importance of the individual,
and often I want to agree with many statements Ham makes too, 
for the same reason, but with Ham self/individual seem to get 
confused.  I find no independent controlling self, only a flow of 
patterns.  

Platt rules!!!
