0706 - Summary/Objective
0707 -
070701 - Had a very good experience today. Vera joined us. There was an
070702 - opportunity to discuss a variety of matters, including SDS, and
070703 - getting grants. Dee has obtained several grants and her father
070704 - obtains several $M each year in grants. She suggests we contact US
070705 - Foundation office to see if there is anyone interested in studying
070706 - our topic.
070707 -
070708 - Our topic is in the fields of biological psychology on human
070709 - intellect and memory, as well as business management.

070714 - Dee echoed Morris' comment the other day, ref SDS 1 line 160801, that
070715 - people think in graphics as well as language. She seemed to acknow-
070716 - ledge that this is more of a matter of degree that either or. She
070717 - indicated that the use of language is a fundamental human capability
070718 - that extends the ability to think, plan, remember and communicate.
070719 -
070720 - It is not clear how other life forms "think", i.e. by images,
070721 - smells, etc., but they certainly do not "think" in language. I
070722 - suppose one could say "sounds" are a form of language, but then
070723 - "language" associated with symbols are a uniquely human form.
070724 -
070725 - Bill Bankevitch said the other day he wants to think in pictures or
070726 - graphs. But he finally acknowledge he must always roll up his
070727 - comprehension of any idea he holds into language.
