Excellent alignment with some of my interests or those of people I like and think are smart!
The rest of the truncated message has been sent.
1. What's been stimulating as a source of good questions for the "distributions in nature" issue?
7. "Signal intelligence in biol. systems" seems to cover all of neurophysiology: Jonathan Victor, whom you met
a few years ago in your office, is powerfully thoughtful on the issues of neural coding. Are there specific
examples that have stimulated you to better questions or turned your thinking around?
6. Are you aware of apps that purport to play music to enhance productivity and focus on tasks at hand? My
buddy Reese Jones has backed that; he has a fascinating set of beliefs and projects around what may soon be
understood as "consciousness hacking." He's on the board of Singularity University as one of the founders. (His
father was a pioneer UCSF MD researcher of hallucinogens, I believe!)
More to come in a day or so.
Thanks!
You're up late or you're not so east of my SF location!

PS How to trade the Trump-GOP demolition of the welfare state, erratic elevation of risks of trade disruptions
and war? Has anyone from the rational center or left given thought to how to respond to a national emergency to
cope with a kakistocratic seizure of emergency powers? The Patriot Act was on a 'shelf' as you know, ready to
be used. What should the better folks in this country have at hand if, say, a port is subject to a radiological
attack of unknown origin?

We haven't talked much at all for quite some time, so I'm not sure of the nature of your current interests but here
are some of mine, where I feel I either have some special capability or can get access to those who have such.
