Unfortunately, we don't know yet what we'll be doing then. On 2, there's of course the classic work of Herman Weyl on symmetry, and more recently Ian Stewart's "beauty is truth," which if I recall correctly has some biological speculations. Don't really see how to pursue it in other ways. From: Jeffrey E.

( minimal energy to transform ) as important to idealize and to think about as conflict , inequality ,and bad behavior. please note The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be attorney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
