Re: Question for Ray Kurzweil

I have been too harsh in my past two emails. I should point out that
I would not have spent so much time looking at your writing if I thought that
you were a poor writer or that your writing was uncorrectable in
some way. Sorry. We writers are sensitive (except I am too harsh to
other writers). Sorry again. I should also clarify the part about
not using the word "spirit." I respect Ray and I have read his book -- I
even got the hardcover since I believe it will be a classic. Yet, I
disagree with the use of "spiritual" for marketing reasons and I would have
found a way to avoid it myself -- I think you should avoid it too
(somehow). Have you read my other post to Amara? It will give you my
reasoning on this.

 

[I think we *will* eff someday. How? I like "topos" logic so
far.]

  Yes, I see what you mean.

 

And:

 

  I will look at your draft article, too.

 

Thank you very much! I don't just want to ask Ray these

questions, I also want to know how many people on this list think we

will ever be able 'eff' the ineffable like this.

 

Also, I'm a very poor writter so any wording or simple english

help anyone can give with the paper would also be greatly

appreciated.

 

Thanks!
