During our lives we affect other people, <br />and the effects live on as long as they do, perhaps affecting others in turn. Restricting myself to the realm of thought, sometimes that is a very thorough effect. I can predict the response to sets of facts from some researchers with fixed methods whose work I have really absorbed, whether they are dead or alive. It can be harder to predict the response of creative thinkers and scientists. At one point, for instance, I knew the way of thinking of one of my teachers in science in considerable detail. But by the time I got to talk about something with him, he might have moved on from a previous stance, so that what I would learn would be the sort of meta-logic by which he got from one scientific position to another. There is an inevitable immortality, however, in the succession of those effects of one human on another; I believe that we have no choice about that.LinguistFriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695715246663202212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-60573867052050265612010-05-16T21:32:19.989-07:002010-05-16T21:32:19.989-07:00Enjoyed reading your mother's day service - oh...Enjoyed reading your mother's day service - oh my goodness - I think my mom used to say that to me too (about beating me with the bloody stump) like your mom - she was a tiny little peanut, hardly capable of ripping off someones leg - LOL - <br /> Hope you are having a good spring.
