I like definitive fact, not philosophy, not grandeur nor fairy tales. Seems that's where arboriculture is so held up as some sweeping philisophical statement can regress factual research with distorted consensus on what is favourable or desired rather than what is real. |
Gents, one thing we can all agree is that arboriculture and us are still on the first rung of the ladder.
Ekka challanges intelligence beyond logic, truth as I see it is if we relied purely on that we would still be stuck in the birth canal.
I see two fundamental types of intelligence logic and instinct - with discernment (logic) we use learnt information which has its place and can help us to quantify that which instinct tells us (What I love about Mattheck's VTA is the system activley cultivates both).
With Instinct we can see the whole story in the twink of an eye, logic to me has a place, but is purley a means to measure, is therefore linear and lacks depth. Instinct however takes us to the heart of the matter, the obstruction is judgment (as opposed to discernment) which is defined by logic.
Logic is a tool which we must learn to master.
Shigo told us to touch trees, I believe he meant for us to do so with body (logic) and soul (instinct). When we collectively start to do that we may just find ouselves in the midst of a major accelaration and find we have little use fo a ladder.

PS - My quote was actually quite logical...
