Manuel, I doubt that I really understand the distinction you are making
between the "natural world" and the "human world". Could you say a little
more about this distinction?
I said in my earlier msg, "even if we have great aspirations and good
reflection skills, we won't get far unless we can understand our complex
world." Perhaps I should have said "...unless we can better understand
our complex world" since I don't mean to imply that it can ever be
understood fully.
When I say "world" I am talking about about the world in which we live,
and also the peculiarities of human perception and how we think.
Finally, could you give an example or illustration of #2 (below)? For me
and others not familiar with the Flores material, that would help.
