|| ==============================
||
|| Life forms which think can have any number of dimensions.
|| Physical size is unrestricted. From quantum size upwards.
||
|| They are as fully equipped to handle their environments as humans are
|| equipped to handle theirs. Otherwise they wouldn't be there.
||
|| There's no reason why thinking life forms should not be as large as
|| the Galaxies or even Groups of Galaxies.
||
|| Groups of Galaxies have more than one head. Inevitably they are
|| exceedingly slow thinkers when measured in our time scales.
||
|| On the other hand, they have the Whole of Eternity in which to solve
|| their problems, dragging us puny insignificant creatures along with
|| them for one short microscopic period.
||
|| As experienced on this tiny Earth, they appear to be suffering from
|| epileptic fits at this moment in time.
||
|| Elementary Statistics should be the 4th most important subject taught
|| in our schools after reading, writing and doing sums.
||
|| Kids should be able to estimate the probabilty of being run over by a
|| bus when they cross a busy street.
||
|| Hope you get the drift of my thoughts before returning to the TLI.
