581416 -        ref DIT 1 017O  It is well to work with technology, like a log
581417 -        table, that speeds consistent accuracy, yet there remains a
581418 -        profound need for paths to original understanding, like Hansel
581419 -        and Gretel created a trail for themselves to remember the way
581420 -        home, noted in the record on 950822, ref SDS 21 6E6G, and cited
581421 -        recently on 011105 to explain the power of links in sustaining
581422 -        civilization through our tradition of jurisprudence.
581423 -        ref SDS D2 IP8L
581424 -        ..
581425 -        Recently, Leon Fuerth lectured at George Washington
581426 -        University, broadcast by CSPAN. ref DIT 1 019O  Fuerth was
581427 -        formerly Vice President Gore's national security advisor.  His
581428 -        lecture during the CSPAN broadcast covered threats of the
581429 -        future, including terrorist attacks like events on 010911.
581430 -        ref SDS B7 0001  He discussed threats from more people gaining
581431 -        skills in nuclear, chemical, biological capabilities, and
581432 -        discussed nano technology that may lead to sentient machines as
581433 -        microbiological circuitry is eventually solved.  In the near
581434 -        term cloning poses at least a cultural challenge that has
581435 -        national security dimensions in pitting people against one
581436 -        another.
581437 -
581438 -        Fuerth related growing danger from gaining control over lower
581439 -        levels of organic structure that causes mistakes to escalate
581440 -        i.e., bumbling, when the complexity of information overload
581441 -        overwhelms human mental biology, ref DIT 1 CQ9N, as related by
581442 -        Eric Armstrong on 011003. ref SDS C3 EC5N  Eric's feeling that
581443 -        this is a hopeless problem adds weight to Fuerth's concern to
581444 -        avoid reaching critical mass that ends in calamity, with
581445 -        institutions of government and business simply imploding, as
581446 -        explained in NWO. ref OF 3 TQ4O and ref OF 3 7501
581447 -        ..
581448 -        Fuerth ended his remarks with a perspective on religion
581449 -        that encompasses the role of technology within a framework of
581450 -        living as individuals, and as members of community (e.g.,
581451 -        family, school, work, neighbors, friends, city, state, nation,
581452 -        culture).  Mr Fuerth seemed to indicate that without a sound
581453 -        philosophical framework, no meaningful progress can occur on
581454 -        moving beyond information technology.  We will be stuck
581455 -        forever, until and unless we look deeper than the notion of
581456 -        "information," to grasp the spectacle of knowledge, as set out
581457 -        in POIMS. ref OF 1 0367  Perhaps the power of religion offers a
581458 -        path for this journey, as explained in NWO, ref OF 3 4723,
581459 -        which further underlies traditions of Western jurisprudence,
581460 -        also, explained in NWO. ref OF 3 163M

581469 -        Background on core competencies of civilization for religion
581470 -        and law suggests a recommendation, ref DIT 1 016P, which Eric
581471 -        requested for solving the dilemma of a hopeless quagmire he
581472 -        confronted on 011003. ref SDS C3 EC5N  Experience using SDS
581473 -        over the past 15 years (see summary in the record on 011003,
581474 -        ref SDS C3 PS7I) shows intelligence is an effective solution,
581475 -        starting with fundamentals of knowledge proposed on 000120.
581476 -        ref SDS 49 5063  This will lead to a new way of working
581477 -        explained on 001219 that strengthens handling of daily working
581478 -        information, which Doug Engelbart recommends, as reported on
581479 -        000327, ref SDS 54 3971, through a process of continual
581480 -        learning that links back to critical details, explained in
581481 -        POIMS, ref OF 1 6649, and illustrated by your excellent work on
581482 -        Fleabyte, discussed above. ref SDS 0 017O
581483 -        ..
581484 -        Jack Park submitted this clue in his letter on 001130,
581485 -        ref SDS 84 H17O, supporting earlier clues Henry submitted on
581486 -        000926. ref SDS 69 375K  Putting all of the clues together,
581487 -        along with recent work by Eugene, Al, Lee, Peter and Paul's
581488 -        ideas will yield the answer. ref DIT 1 HX5K  However, after you
581489 -        get it, there will still be the "people" problem that worried
581490 -        Jack on 010908, ref SDS B6 YF5O, which I fear only education
581491 -        can address within the realm of religion, as pointed out by
581492 -        Leon Fuerth in his remarks at George Washington University. For
581493 -        that, we need clues on engaging an educator to foster a culture
581494 -        of knowledge, per above, ref SDS 0 FS4F, that has faith to
581495 -        invest time for intelligence, rather than spend all of our time
581496 -        consuming information, as discussed in the letter to the
