In the recent PBS special on evolution, a researcher, who was expecting to find theories and/or at least the depth of discussions to extend beyond "social" interactions, was suprised to document (by eaves-dropping{sp?}) that more than 2/3rds of all discussions are "gossip like" and that the human is more of a *social being than an intellectual one (or some similar extrapolation)...
This reminded me of a previous "documentation" (not related to PBS) that revealed that there are three *kinds of people:
- Those that talk about people - Those that talk about events - Those that talk about ideas.
It is impossible (that ought to *stir things up) to be involved in one without referring or understanding the context of the other two, but...
Would it be presumptious to say that this discussion board generally seeks to focus on number three...?[snicker-e]

Those that count and those that don't count.

Re:-Those that talk about people - Those that talk about events - Those that talk about ideas.
i heard it as people with:
Small minds talk about people. mediocre minds talk about things. great minds talk about ideas. no mind at all talk about themselves..
the nuns used use this when ever any one was showing off -- especially after christmas, when many of us had few things to show off..
i find i alternate between being mindless, and great.. and mea culpa, but mindless wins all to often! but talking about food wins out over self and others. in the magnatude of sins, food is not so bad.
