Guest guest Posted January 25, 2002 Report Share Posted January 25, 2002 All, My apology for the untimely replies, I've been back in the classroom (and the dog ate my homework). From : >I re-listened to the tape and he does say (this)... P.U. says " no one has [ . . . ] > But I do understand his point, which is very clear... but the above is > not... thanx for your detailed description of 'his point'... Thank you for both the correction and the concentration on his intent. The fact that there is pharmacological research of which a sinologist is unaware does not change what Li Ao did, its motivations, or our need to be aware of CM's many influences. From Bob Flaws: > But, hey, no one can be an expert in everything, and we > all get into trouble when we cross outside the bounds of our personal > expertise. Amen. I'm glad that what I wrote in 1984 is long forgotten. I would hate to have it subject to the scrutiny that falls upon Dr. Unschuld's work. He has made a fine contribution but as he says, `it is only the start of a thousand theses.' It will be interesting to see the Introductory volume to his Nei Jing publications because we'll get a look at how he sees things in 2002.

Yes, this is why even pursuing the title `doctor' has never made sense to me. Bob Flaws and Ken Rose have covered this topic very well. I can only add that we need to be aware of scale when strategizing how do deal with public perceptions of what we offer. I do not believe that we have the resources, or can access enough free media, to alter perception in a mass culture like the U.S. (and this is probably the case in the EUC, Australia, and the rest of the world). To reach an audience at that scale, I suspect we will need to attach to larger issues that already have the public's awareness and the media's attention. This, for example, is why I like the idea of inter-rater, demographic and outcomes studies. These are inexpensive relative to the broad media play they can receive. From Todd: > It has come to my attention that some newer members and especially those > on the east coast don't know the regular cast of characters on the list > are. They just see our first names usually. Bio: My partner, Martha Fielding, and I started and manage Redwing Book Company. It is a family-style business; basically Martha runs RWBC and I handle the Paradigm Publications imprint. I have a bachelors of arts from the University of Minnesota from 1967. I am qualified to do what I do only because I am doing it, I have no relevant education. In college I discovered an admiration for Asian thought and expression. However, excepting some time in computer science, I have learned by doing (which means making mistakes). Bob bob Paradigm Publications www.paradigm-pubs.com 44 Linden Street Robert L.
