Hi Lanny,

I have a funny feeling that this would be a great chat over a beverage or two. It seems we may not be that far from each other after all… possible that I’m just lowering the bar on the word knowledge…

But I’m interested in what you mean by ‘starting a fundamentally new path’ are you talking about new kids of knowledge or new directions in a given field? Is this a connection to the ‘cult’ comments you made earlier on?

I think this is an excellent point, adn I think I should probably include it in the follow up article. There is certainly a sense in which communities can morph into cults, looking inward and backwards rather than outside and inclusive. Is this what you mean?
