Q. Do you wish to continue this communications mode?
A. “I do not wish anything. I am grateful for ‘what happens.’ I am committed to problem solving by positive competent participation in the inexorable physical evolution’s transformative stratagems. I am 78. My mail is prodigious. I cannot answer each letter. Therefore, I write books of answers to most pressing questions. Have published 12 books. If you read them all you would not have had to ask the questions that you did for most of them are answered as best I know how in those books. Please do not think that I consider myself an authority. I have been asking myself questions for my whole lifetime and, a half-century ago, challenged myself to find my own answers by experiment or in the books instead of asking live questions of others. This did not preclude listening to others when they spoke voluntarily to me. I decided to commit my answers to paper so that I could check myself at a later date; in order by trial and error to learn how to think more adequately and incisively. I am glad that you have written to me and above all that you as a young human are interested in such important questions-- at least to me they are important.”
