Looking Deeper
And so,
Sometime ago, and I must digress to mention " briefly "
what I mean exactly by " sometime ago ".
What I mean is the " earth " or planet rotates and that
rotation does work, so what I mean is the earth has
done a bunch of work since then. It is kind of an
issue because the earth is doing the work for us, for
no visible pay ..... (?)
Anyway, I had a friend and a collaborator who would
help me sort through murky situations. Today you
might say he was a " computer " scientist, but
that was not the current terminology of that time.
His main repeated diagnosis was " there is no magic ".
This might be the ultimate understanding of computer
science, that there is no magic.
And yet, if we do look deeper. generally speaking, we do
find that magic. The reason we find it is because
life is involved, or more precisely ( tricky word! ),
it is our humanity that is involved. That reality
is the situation, and therefore, any situation produces,
what we often think of or refer to as " magic ".
