back after almost a month-long hiatus. was a bit busy with work of all things :-(.
got more insights on business intelligence esp in telecom over the last month. I think getting into neural nets/bayesian nets/genetic algos now is the right time. shud start working on the team fast.
bot a book on story of philosophy yday at strands. really amazed at the greeks and esp plato/aristotle. i feel Platos' theories kind of is similar to that of adi shankara/advaita. but the reasoning is amazing. simple rules to remember the greeks.
socrates - gave us the thot of enquiry/questioning.
plato - "Forms" - much like the advaita - two worlds - what we see is only our perception of our senses and there is something beyond our senses.
aristotle - dismissed the above two worlds. basically said that we are in an experiential world and all our experiences lead us to the truth. also probly the most well read man in the world at any point of time - strong logic.
