2510 - Summary/Objective
2511 -
251101 - Follow up ref SDS 40 0000, ref SDS 36 0000.
251102 -
251103 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Morris responding to the letter on
251104 - Tuesday, 011204 apologizing for pressuring him to support SDS based on
251105 - cognitive science, ref DIP 7 0001, when this appears to conflict with
251106 - religious beliefs. ref SDS 41 0001
251108 -  ..
251109 - Morris says today....
251110 -
251111 -     As always, we discuss the issues.  I don't take it personally.
251112 -     Many times, I don't feel you are listening, and hear what you want
251113 -     to.  To understand in influence your customers, you have to see
251114 -     the world through their perspective, not your own.
251116 -  ..
251117 - Morris was concerned about Rod not listening on 950223. ref SDS 8 7499
251119 -  ..
251120 - On 890809 he worried that people at the office were not listennig to
251121 - him, and this was costing a lot of money.
251123 -  ..
251124 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 responding to Morris' letter and
251125 - explaining...
251126 -
251127 -    1.  Morris resists discussing issues beyond IT, as shown on 011129,
251128 -        ref SDS 40 MG8N, which is where SDS has taken us.  If we
251129 -        discuss programming, Morris handles that well, but discussing
251130 -        use of what is programmed to save time and money, and how to
251131 -        strengthen that capability, seems to fail. ref DIT 1 0001
251133 -         ..
251134 -    2.  Maybe neither of us is listening.  Morris can help by providing
251135 -        feedback explaining what is overlooked in the record of our
251136 -        discussion on 011129, ref SDS 40 0001, to understand and follow
251137 -        up so things get done. Almost any discussion we have seems to
251138 -        founder, and it appears to come down to religion.  In other
251139 -        words you seem to tie everything back to religion, which is
251140 -        fine with me, but then you refuse to examine it. ref DIT 1 YV6G
251141 -
251142 -             [On 011211 Morris submitted feedback. ref SDS 42 R68J
251144 -         ..
251145 -    3.  Try viewing this as an exercise of differentiating information
251146 -        as stuff you see, hear and experience through doing things,
251147 -        from an "intelligence" process that manipulates information
251148 -        received through sensory perception, ref DIT 1 417J, into
251149 -        chronologies that impart, by inference, causation based on
251150 -        context, where "context" is a list of subjects that can be
251151 -        described in strings of one to about 100 words parsed in
251152 -        different ways. see POIMS. ref OF 1 0367
251154 -         ..
251155 -    4.  We should be able to discuss this without getting bogged down
251156 -        asking for data proving 500K customers exist before a product
251157 -        is formulated, whether cognitive science is a science, and how
251158 -        much better Microsoft is than SDS. ref DIT 1 L38J  Those things
251159 -        are irrelevant to understanding how to improve alphabet
251160 -        technology for saving time and money. ref OF 1 1299
