Replying to LO27964 --

Hello At and felLOwers,

Thanks for the reference to the site. I think it is very funny - "Conserve
you from Entropy", "The Nature of Reality: Knotic Aether" (from now on,
i'll call the minds and souls of people Knowtic Eather) and dubbing Lord
Kelvin the source of Internet because of the Transatlantic Cable and the
analogue computer - even briljant. The only thing i can have against is,
is that it might be seen as self-blasphemious: insulting to The Lord
Kelvin.

Perhaps we could propose the authors an extension called "William Thomson
LOrded: an organizational perspective", explaining how Learning
Organizations can have their energy increased and can be conserved from
entropy, how to fight chaos and achieve peace of mind. How the principles
of the thermodynamic laws can lead us to organisations that are Absolute
and Pure, only Substance and no Form. I bet we can show that Lord Kelvin
already presaged LO's.

I agree with you that Lord Kelvin should have been awarded the Noble Prize
- for being right and for being wrong: that is the only way to
unification.
>From being proven wrong we've grown.

Waving bye-bye,

Jan
