I was struggelling with wha tto say in terms of "Core thought" and I do agree with you that it might not even be a thought as we currently define such a notion.

Maybe this is a growth point in our evolution, maybe not.GREGORY said:Then i realised that asking such questions is a slippery slope because each question asked has no answer, but another question to replace it. The answer you got to your question is not the answer but merely the point at which you stopped asking questions.
