3. I really enjoyed the reading I did.

It helped validate my innate idea that
the world is holistic and not mechanistic
as Descartes and Newton wanted it to be.

I did my literature discussions mostly at
KDH, but I finally had to leave there because
the professor who owned and ran it was a
crazy fundamentalist xtian and the moderation
got really over the top.

However, fortunately, I managed to be able to
read and discuss a lot of books there and at a
couple of other sites.

What was so wonderful about it was that some
of the world's best minds came to these sites,
and my learning was exponentially improved
that way... people from Oxford, Sweden, India,
and so on.

One of the friends I made, and wrote poetry
tags with, is the great grand nephew of Nobel
Prize Winner Rabindranath Tagore.

Pure luck? Or not?
