Re:

Thank your wife, the cookies were great

Thank YOU. But you didn't answer our question.

what type of answer

The answer to the question about what the question is.

If I ask what is beethovens fifth symphony, ? =it needs context. ? piece of music? music in thre= parts. music in c minor. . the Ai minus 1= was to pose good questions. they also nee= to be well posed. . what is your pupose today? main pu=pose.? goal.? what processes will you be using.? do you think =ou have true control over that purpose or even that answer. . = you might first ask, why have a purpose? i= im ill, I might say my purpose is to get better.. if i= cold , my purpose would be to get warm. . its a system=question. is it my mental state. or my physical. state.=C2 . both purpse to stay alive and have offspring that sure=ive.

if you want , why still work? Fun,=C2 entertainment. ( its a deep concept . of keeping t=e sysytem healthy by stressing it. engaging it. etc , can be thinkni=g for some , weight lifting fro others ).

how much of your day to you really control? . actio=s. ? motivations. . do the people around you modif= those goals , just by being there. .

were you guys looking for " meaning " =AO .

I kind=of feel like each "context" is a different fitness landsca=e or function and that we live in multiple and conflicting fitness landsca=es - sort of like parallel universes or different sets of forces at differ=nt scales. The other part is probably the unit of "groupness =9D that you sometimes talk about - tribe, individual, species, etc. Each o= these fitness landscapes push us to search for a more optimal position - =ower, fun, comfort, energy, food, reproduction, security. These seem like =he different forces or "purposes" that drive us. This isn=E2 t exactly, right but I feel it's something like this. Talk=ng about your "languages" - I think that different people =ight care more about different dimensions of their fitness (maybe this isn=E2 t the right word) and the diversity and the weight of your existen=e on certain dimensions is a strong part of your character and also your a=ility to influence those on that dimensions (maybe the idea of local curre=cies is a better way to describe this and maybe you can boil down to power=money as you point out, but I'm not sure...)

Neri got tied up with a student's thesis review...

"meaning"... maybe.

Great talking to you. Fun that Tenzin gets a lot out of these conversations=as I do.

i really think the distribution of purposes ,=C2 is a new insight. somehow the community alwa=s has a garbage man , and a homeless person and a teacher. =AO neither one aware of the reason they became what they=did.

did the person who got=killed in the car on dec 31. know he needed his death to add the kee= the number year after year constant
