MESSAGE FOR WEEK BEGINNING 27th January 2003

..possibility.. China's early progress in science and technology came to an end when the scholars wanted 'certainty'. They thought you could move from certainty to certainty. So they never developed the 'possibility' system. Even today, in the best universities, totally insignificant attention is paid to the possibility system.

We have always been obsessed by 'truth'. You can have truth about the past but only possibility about the future.
