Writing a long essay is probably the most complex constructive act that most human beings areever expected to perform.
We do not truly own our thoughts or experiences until we have negotiated them with ourselvesand for this writing is the prime medium.
When common sense sees a puzzling phenomenon it looks for a causal agent. When it sees organization it looks for an organizer. This works amazingly well for purposes ranging from the diagnosis of diseases to the creation of governments. But it cannot account for emergence. . . the appearance of complex phenomena not predictable from the basic elements and processes alone.
