Re: GG: Humming

[Brian Guarraci <guarraci@hpl.umces.edu>]

Greetings,

	It is my impression that GG didn't concern himself with the concept of
genius.  I find this attitude useful, since such a self opinion usually
stands as an obstacle to getting real things done.

	Also, I wouldn't presume to impose limititations on the human mind
regarding multi-threaded processing.  After all, we are biological, and
there are millions of things going on in your body all the time.  Zen
talks about freeing oneself from mind and being.  This would be a great
step to becoming aware of the many processes which are always in motion.
