I'm guessing here, but I think he may be referring to the Christian idea of the "old covenant" in the Tanakh, and the "new covenant" of the New Testament. Two laws.\nOn a side note I find his Q&A fascinating. When he's on, he comes up with some really clever stanzas. Seems a little out there quite often, but he truly has the soul of a poet.

I think that this is probably a variation on a quote that I have heard attributed to Mark Twain and Abe Lincoln. I found it also credited to Samuel Johnson. Samuel Johnson died before Abe and Twain were born, so I give him credit. The quote is as follows...."It is better to remain silent and thought a fool, than open one's mouth and remove all doubt."\n\nIn other words....keep em guessing.

"celver" or CLEVER???\n I think anybody on earth have the ability to be Clever as long as they open their mind to new things that are happening everyday. \n I also think there are more American inventors than English investors, but then who cares? We all learn from each of them!

WEB Dubois used his analysis of the economic and social inequalities of blacks in many areas to argue against the accomidationist lectures of BT Washington.  This set a 50 year debate about the best way to advance the cause of black people- while Washington advocated ignoring social and political equality and liberal education for economic advancement and industrial education, WEB Dubois advocated the intellectual rise of blacks and resulting social equality, reasoning that the self-respect and respect of the rest of society would further equality more rapidly.  He feared that the long-term consequences of Washington's philopophy would result in blacks becoming an physical labor underclass...better off economically but trapped by a lack of any blacks with higher education and social status.  The entire story and analysis of the conflict between these absolutely brilliant thinkers in the early 1900's is fascinating and is incredibly relevant in the modern world-I would recommend study of this to anyone who wants to understand not just the plight of African-Americans, but the social philosophy underlying the advancement of women, Jews, and immigrants, and how each group chose different paths.

I'm sure many of the famous astronomers before him like Edwin Hubble, Harlow Shapley, James Jeans (mentioned by person in an interview) where all important to his work.  Check out some of his papers in the Astrophysical Journal or the Astronomical Jounal and check who the references are.

This theory has a long, convoluted explanation which you might be better researching in google.  I had a quick look for you and came up with:\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/tokyo/1236/rayofcreation5.html\n\nI typed Ouspensky into google and got quite a lot of references to him and Gurdjieff.  Happy reading.

When you answer, remember the usuals: Oppenheimer, Fermi, Seaborg (my math teacher's uncle), Schwinger.\nBut never, ever, ever forget the work of General Groves. \nTo understand the power that this one man held over our country for the rest of the 20th century and beyond, read "The Flouride Deception".
