(and it could be that the wisdom of crowds is not so wise sometimes, as you talk about above) i am looking for a way to integrate western science and eastern mysticism, though i dislike that word ... i have spent the last 15 years in india, and every time i read some new discovery in neuroscience, i can see that some yogi said the same thing about 800 years ago ... :-) .. so, am getting a blog going at http:www.postlinearity.com to explore this arena the materialist, reductionist viewpoint is too partial to carry much effective weight for very much longer .. i imagine a lot of rueful smiles on the faces of elderly gentlemen when they contemplate the beliefs of their youth, or even of their mid-career writings ... thanks for you time here enjoy, gregory lent i discovered you and your work on friendfeed … thanks for this small post on collective consciousness …
