The Analysis Of Data Will Not By

Humor Is By Far The Most Significant Activity Of The Human Brain.

One Can Think Of A Secretary Actively Operating A Filing System, Of A Librarian Actively Cataloguing Books, Of A Computer Actively Sorting Out Information. The Mind However Does Not Actively Sort Out Information. The Information Sorts Itself Out And Organises Itself Into Patterns. The Mind Is Passive. The Mind Only Provides An Opportunity For The Information To Behave In This Way. The Mind Provides A Special Environment In Which Information Can Become Self-organising. This Special Environment Is A Memory Surface With Special Characteristics.

We Need Both Information And Thinking. Information Is No Substitute For Thinking And Thinking Is No Substitute For Information.

We Need Creativity In Order To Break Free From The Temporary Structures That Have Been Set Up By A Particular Sequence Of Experience.

It's Always Amazed Me How Little Attention Philosophers, Psychologists, Or Anyone Else Actually Has Paid To Humor.
