"Nothing special? " (My background is French)
I only read the first paragraph. What should we do with these "equations," when we understand that it is this "long series of [expert] judgments" behind them that have led our "generalist" species in the evolutionary predicament in which it is now? In my opinion, it is more than time to throw them in the waist basket. Not the "experts" themselves—since there will always be ways to rehabilitate their brain power for our survival, not for the "advancement of knowledge," once we understand that it is the progress that they have brought us that has led our "generalist" species in front of the evolutionary cliff in which we stand now,—but the "equations."
Einstein has told us that we shouldn't do what you are suggesting us to do: use the language that has created the problems, to solve them. This is why my heart stop when I ear Obama says that he understands the problem, and that he wants to throw money at it. It is indeed as if a well intention leading soul of the Black Plague era, would have suggested his people to stay close to the sick, and kiss the dying good buy. That is exactly what Obama and the "experts" advising him are planning to do, "kiss the dying good buy." Believe me, I know that if they do this, we will all die with them. It is only once we had understood the extrinsic cause of the plague that we could cure it. Today, the cause of our problems is "intrinsic" to our own species. That is why it is hard to figure out, since we all take ourselves for granted. We shouldn't. We are an unsound species, which was conceived with the seed of destruction embedded in its mentality, of which we experience the blooming at the moment.
The real problem is that nobody in the whole wide world, except me, maybe, and especially not any "expert," understand the problem, which is global and endemic to our species, and because it is global and endemic to our species. That is why I consider myself as being "special." Indeed, it is paradoxically because of "experts" and in spite of them, that after sixty-five years, I am still a well informed "generalist," as we used to be for millions of years, when our extinction was not a problem.
I am presently setting myself up to formulate this global problem that is confronting us now, in a way that will be solvable and in a language that will be understood by everybody, even specialists, I hope. If I succeed, there will be hope, since we do possess all the "expertise" we need to solve any problem that is confronting us, once it is defined. Wish "yourself" good luck, since if I don't define the problem, I don't know who will, as it should be, and you'll be affected by our crass ignorance, as everybody else will be. Understand the pressure in which I am? It will be formulated in Part III of. "Quantum Reality" see http://gaudwin.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!75D2857795790980!236.entry
