Greetings Doc,
Thank you very much for setting deed to the letter so that we could
experience the Philosopher's Way through your jogging along your own
experiences along the Philosopher's Way.
I do not want to qualify as a researcher when the uncovering of bare facts
and fitting them to simplistic theories are the ideals of research.
Understanding how facts operate within their context makes much more sense
to me. Some people are philosophers with philosophies. Its a fact. But
what interest me is how the environment of philosophers aid them to become
"lovers" (phileo-) of "wisdom" (sophia). What patterns in the environment
aid their inner rhythm and essences?
I am pretty sure that a DIRECT transfer in tacit/implicit and
fomal/explicit knowledge is imposssible for they have to evolve within a
person. But they can be transfered indirectly by way of a transfer of
experiences such as you have magnificently demonstrated above. Eventually
they will emerge as another specimen of the same species rather than as a
clone of the original specimen.
How I hate the cloning of rote learning.

We will ask Winfried or someone else in Germany to edit with love your
"mis"takes. We love you for your "hit"takes.
With care and best wishes
