> Hej DCSH, i was wondering if you'd turn up again.
Hej? Are you perchance Dutch or German? ;-)
As for 'turning up', I'll do so when I am called, normally I do not usually feel so much complusion to enter into threads on social. ;-)
> Oh, he*l, as long as we're sharing/exchanging... and come to think of it, you DSCH, have probably already read this one~ because one of your past posts reminded me of it:
> "The Cosmic Serpent -DNA and the Origins of Knowledge- " ...Nope. Strangely there aren't all that many books I have read cover to cover. However I grab bits and pieces that are interrelated all over the place (how's that for an ADD trait?). I am fairly convinced that philosophical materialism is quite true. However I am not a die hard genetic determinist as it seems to me the brain has a degree of plasticity. I also believe QM points to there being a fundamental degree of stochasticism/probabilistic function of the universe (probably introduced at the level where spacetime ends up getting quantized itself... a question that only seems to be dodged by string theory, which has been developed classically). I think complete continuity in the physical and mathematic realms is a comforting illusion.
Anyway, which posts of mine sparked this connection?
