My very dear Mr.kannam...whatever,
Like you suggest, let's not get into loggerheads with each other about as abstract a subject as T/A. I did "peruse" your post & hence the response. Yes you're right, it made absolutely no sense to ME, period. You did'nt like what I posted, so be it & leave it at that. I'm admittedly a confrontationist by nature but not this time & not with you on a piddling matter as this. Please allow yourself the luxury of basking in your own thoughts & theories and forget about me & my views.
sh50 my dear Wordsworth, I really am wondering who "they" are who said that ... your quote "the future is not always an extension of the present" unquote.. It is something out of this world. As I always knew it, quote..." The present is what the past decided for us & the future is what the present decides for us" unquote..., with respects to the great Confucius. Vely, vely solly for for the mis-translation if any, Master.
There are any number of views & sayings on this by wise men re-inforcing this statement. This has & still forms the basis on which topics such as "Origins of life on Earth", "Extra-terrestrial life", "Foundations of ancient religions", "Mankind the dominant species", the "SETI" project..... etc are being studied, vivisected & microscoped. Forgive me for differring with you again but that's what this great august forum is for is'nt it, differing, agreeing, arguing and opining within limits of civility & decorum?
Happy trading all of you & enjoy your own views & thoughts.
