Emotional intelligence seems to be getting short shrift here. Any special reason for that.

Those primitives I talked about a few months back who tried to take apart a cell-phone to find out where all the conversations come from made a similar discovery. The stories and conversations that come out of it, they concluded, did not come from any one of the tiny black boxes inside it, but from the interplay of lots of tiny nodes. They still haven't figured out what each of the little boxes does, but they feel they are making progress at discovering how the amazing device manages to put out an infinite array of thoughts and stories. They are applying for a research grant next month.
