[net.space] "reply to Marvin Minsky"

jis (09/15/82)

I absolutely agree with Tom Roberts in so far as it is important to EXTEND
the realm of Science (or at least the methodology of Science) to include
national and international politics. However, it is not at all obvious to me
as to how one can go about and make that happen.
	It seems that if science could be packaged in a religeous packet and
sold, that might work (considering all the absurdities that people will buy
in religeous packets!). Unfortunately, that thought is an anathema, at least
to me, and perhaps it would defeat the basic purpose of the quest.
