Sir Edmund Hillary has passed away. This is very sad (for NZers anyway - I know he wasn't very well-known in other countries). I think he achieved legend status, not just because he climbed a mountain, but because of the way he lived his life and his manner. RIP. (This is old news because TDES is behind).
The world has lost of great man. It makes me very sad too. I read about him in his support of the Central Asia Institute in _Three Cups of Tea_. <= A very good read, btw.
The National Public Radio here had a short segment on Sir Hillary's life and passing on my way to work, the day he died. Sounded like a very generous man. I'm sure I have read about him in publications like National Geographic and heard about him on TV. I think if someone mentioned his name I would think Mt. Everest.
Sarah, your segment regarding the meaning of mean triggered an insight. It builds upon a previous insight of mine that's too complex to explain here. Anyway, as you showed, mean = unkind. Since existence is the non-linear duality of Purpose/Meaning, then it's also Kind/unKind, as in Class/Instansiation, where unKind and Instansiation are not a kind of thing, but the means of a a kind of thing. :)
my mother tongue isnt english, but i know the meanings of mean and into... should i be surprised know? no im shocked
