Subj: Re: Friday morning bright... Date: 99-04-30 15:02:25 EDT From: Anilmitra To: Joanelk Hi Joan.... Lovely morning I am searching EB for ideas on "action" and have IE 5/AOL on in the background. This is part of Exploration. There are four main areas: 1 EXPLORATIONS AND TRANSFORMATIONS OF BEING 2 KNOWLEDGE, LEARNING AND DISCOVERY 3 ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION PROCESSING ELEMENTS AND SYSTEMS 4 EXPLORATIONS IN SOCIAL AND GROUP ELEMENTS AND ACTION This corresponds to the outline for Being and Its Elements which, as you know, is "my work" and at the same time the main program. I'm currently in the EB links/WEB links phase...and so will be online quite a bit for a while. There is a lot of "junk" relative to my interests on the web...but there is also excellent information...and much of it readily accessible...for example, David Chalmers' pages are a great resource on the literature on the philosophy, science etc. of mind and consciousness; Contemporary Philosophy of Mind An Annotated Bibliography Online papers on consciousness are two examples with which you are familiar. So the problem is twofold: (1) understand the use of the Web as a resource - this is more than knowing the mechanics but requires intuitive navigation in a large, compartmentalize yet integrate, multidimensional space; (2) actually use the resource which reinforces and is reinforced by (1)...and use it in the service of the "project"...and is at the same time part of the project [3 ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION PROCESSING ELEMENTS AND SYSTEMS]...etc etc ...and I may, since I keep ungodly hours on my weekends, be online also at similarly ungodly hours.
