Yes, the sock puppet video. And the one where he was talking to his dog, the Boxer.
Both of those tell me that at least, we could have a good time together...then and therefore, I too believe on your logic David that in the end, we too would have a good time and not be adversarial.
I look forward to that someday, perhaps both of you.

Mikado,
This is NOT meant as an insult, just an observation:
You (and Wags) are very analytical, linear thinkers.
Typical male. Classic Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.
For decades I ran my own companies in male dominated industries.
Learned linear thinking.
For me to understand John, I need to trash linear thinking.
Also understand that when I am having a conversation with him, he "catches and processes" only about 20% of what I say.
very, very similar to my daughter (who has "learning disabilities")
When he tells me something, it is seldom more than three words. Often sends me an email with a link to info. Never a comment about the info.
John has been on well over 200 TV shows and over 1000 radio shows.
He finds out what the people want to discuss, then creates a "script". Brings together the words that he has used repeatedly and is comfortable with. I have noticed on live interviews (and during video taping), John cannot respond to "questions on the fly". When we do videos, I go over with him the scene, the subject and we review how he is going to present the info. Many people are frustrated with youTube vids that he does, they ask questions and struggle in getting answers. (In John's mind, he has SHOWN them something. Explaining what he just showed is very difficult.)
This is the challenge we face in doing the conferences/workshops...and the live streaming with questions coming in from the internet.
So....Mikado (and Wags and other linear thinkers)....
Both John and I want to "open source", to get the information to others. Let them explore and discover. Show a path.
As I type this, ideas bang around in my head.
How to get from a visual thinker, who goes to the Edge of Forever for information...to linear thinkers?
Many times I talk in stories, parables...metaphors. Trying to build an image with words, an image linear thinkers can see.
Once in awhile that works.
It is the linear thinkers that may have some clues.
Wags was all on me to produce a "white paper", reviewed by John's peers.
Frankly, I haven't been able to find any peers of John.
Dozens of papers have been written by other scientists who have worked with John.
All those show what "they observed and concluded"...but not what John "sees".
What are the paths to communicate between John and linear thinkers?
Nancy
