Re: [WDDM] A suggestion

Dear VPR, and all

It seems to me, if you replaced the word "feeling" with the
word "Logic" (capital letter) in your text below, its meaning
does not change.

Tte problem remains, how to replace the word "logic"in the
same text. IMHO, the word "wrong logic" could be the case.

I mean, the current collective logic is wrong. To reduce pain
among people, WDDM should therefore point out a healthier
logic, thus a Logic. Most of all, WDDM should make it spring
out from bottom-up, i.e. from the inside of each individual, as
DD would require as: absolutely not from top-down, as some
crazy scientists seem still to suggest as.


regards,

antonio
