It is heartening to see that my Gentle Readers took the time to invest in yesterday's Example of the I Ching (pronounced YEE JING where jing is sounded as the jing in jingle) . For years I have struggled to find an appropriate Time and Place to introduce the I Ching or Book of Changes, but that has escaped actualization because the I Ching is MONSTROUSLY Esoteric -- ALMOST unavailable to us jus' reg'lar Folk .
Still, I must leave said Introduction down,,,,,, something 'arrived' this morning during my prolonged "Mull Period" and I feel it Relevant to our ongoing Investigation of Social Norms and the Individual Traits and Characteristics that define Modern Man = US . What 'arrived' was "Tactical Deception" and its Source was `out of` Steven Mithen's --- THE PREHISTORY OF THE MIND ----THE COGNITIVE ORIGINS OF ART, RELIGION AND SCIENCE . His VOLUME is a Classic Textbook and is written for a purely ACADEMIC "audience" , so SUPER-Technical shit is the "Fore" of each and every page, meaning, he acknowledges the foundational works of SUPER-BRAINED Others as he provides HIS explanations, descriptions and theories . I KNOW Others will consider such Science dreadfully boring, flat, dry and an Intellectual TRUDGE . I am NOT "one of those" but I DO caution my Gentle Readers and for that matter EVERYONE who "picks up" this Work, to be PATIENT , take his work in "small bites" so it can be chewed properly and swallowed without choking . This Text ain't for 'sissies' .
