Perhaps this site will help some of you to start seeing that symbols have
extremely limited powers, and something more is needed - and also give you a
sense of how attitudes are changing.

(it's part of the Envisioning Science Program - check out the movie)

No v. coherent message behind all this stuff - just a lot of ongoing
questions, which I hope will get you to start asking questions. And they're
mainly talking about the need to envision *science*. What they haven't
realised is what follows - the need to envision and image-ine intelligence,
period. But this shows things starting to happen. And the momentum will
build.(Welcome info re anything related).
Perhaps it will start to give you a sense that words and indeed all symbols
provide an extremely limited *inventory of the world* and all its infinite
parts and behaviours.
I welcome any impressionistic responses here, including confused questions.
