0514 - 1340 Kim called back
0515 -
051501 - He has retired but is still working.  I explained the basic ideas
051502 - from the NWO paper ref OF 2 line 65, and my interest in developing a
051503 - study through a university to validate the theory.  An anthropologist
051504 - is needed on the research team to coordinate a variety of disci-
051505 - plines, e.g., biology, evolution, cognitive analysis, language,
051506 - writing, religion, law practice.
051507 -
051508 - Kim said my explanation indicates an interesting field of inquiry
051509 - that he has not previously considered.  He feels that this effort
051510 - would require a mature researcher and generally such a person will
051511 - have their own agenda.  He indicated this means a younger person who
051512 - is looking for a field of research might be a better candidate.  Kim
051513 - said I should do the research because I have the best understanding
051514 - of the objective and issues.
051515 -
051516 - Kim feels he cannot participate in the project because he is already
051517 - committed to more than he can do.  We considered the personal drive
051518 - to accomplish what seem like helpful work in the time remaining. Kim
051519 - is 70, and so this is more critical, however, it really is a function
051520 - of the task and time required, and its relative contribution.  He
051521 - expressed a concept of working on small steps rather than major
051522 - breakthroughs.  I mentioned how work in SDS creates a connected set
051523 - of knowledge that in time can disclose an important mosaic that was
051524 - not clear in the near term.
051525 -
051526 - I offered to send the NWO paper to assist him in understanding the
051527 - research and perhaps connecting me up with someone to help.
