Thanks for the comment, Ishmael. I agree completely. Great foresight always contains elements of hindsight, so it is not a competition, but collaboration and symbiosis. I've that many ancient traditions thought of humanity walking backwards into the future....knowing where we've been is important, but when we see the path curving or diverging, we need to start tacking in that direction.
