Bronx Dudes, There's a Big Crisis

Hey Bronx dudes, let's look at the world beyond the shores of Orchard Beach.

We're in an existential crisis, in which the happy sounds of


what happened to all these species that were killed, 98% of the

known, living species, once-living species in this Solar System,

and beyond, were wiped out because they became obsolete. And

only mankind, to the best of our knowledge, has ever beaten that

rap! And we are determined to beat that rap. I'm confident we

can do it.


And others here can speak to that effect. We had a joke,

which is not a joke, the joke of the concept of creativity, and

that really is our subject. But we had a case of we're sitting

down with someone, who's an influential figure in his own right,

and associated with other influential figures in our society, and

we spoke in terms, which signify, like Riemann's conception of

creativity: When you leave the domain of ordinary thought, you

enter a domain of creativity, creativity per se. And you're

gripped by it. We were gripped by it! Sky and I were

particularly gripped by it. We had a similar reaction.

We are a key part, with other people, in this country and in

other countries, of significant people who are committed to real

creative productivity. And it was a highly spiritual quality of

experience, to share that discussion. We went from a "nice"

discussion, a nice, practical discussion, a nice scientific

discussion, to a more quietly impassioned view of the mission

before us, more than just simply, a typical Riemann account. No,

we have a leadership. Alicia knows a good deal of this, we have

other people who are not here in the room presently, who also

know a good deal about this, which we discussed this afternoon.

And you'll get more of it, in the course of the evening, as

we discuss things, it'll come out.
