      Mar 5 2013: Frozen seems similar in a way to Status quo/ routine / monotonous - with all of these in the domain of idea/ concept itself !! What seems opposite thus as "Einstein / McGilchrist - idea as " Intuitive Gift" ( Don references this in this conversation ) or as referenced by Reine " Stephen Hawking there are scraps of information escaping" Similar to Frozen Ice having splinters of Ice away escaping away from it

        Mar 5 2013: An idea is a consequence, a venture, in terms of something being germinated. Being frozen (unchanged) would seem to preclude this creative process. It also may be seen as an individual inability to be receptive to notice, such as being presumptuously frozen in one's own mind from any recognition or differentiation in perception of an available "Intuitive Gift." A problem robots may have by definition. I will read the references to try to get up to speed.

        Is the concept of opposites only useful to the extent that is essential in computing the elastic nature of what a given term connotes about being human?

        Maybe it's a good thing language has its limitations, otherwise this struggle would be considerably less fun.

          Mar 6 2013: " otherwise this struggle would be considerably less fun" interesting !! It seems though this fun through language may connect to a (d) strong insightful cord that connect (a) opposites (b) opposite of opposites (c) into the holistic both in language and beyond ;)
