OY (])PONEOYLI TOIA YTA IIOAAOI OKOEOJII Many fail to grasp what
they have seen, and cannot judge what they have learned, ErKYPEOYLI
OYL1E MA (R)ONTEE ITINOEKOYIT although they tell themselves they
know. EQYTOJII L1E L10KEOYLI Heraclitus of Ephesus, 500 BC " ...
everyone that is not speckled and C~T~v: N,;~, 'T,ji~ ,~~~N ,tuN '=
spotted among the goats and brown among the sheep, that shall be
counted ~~N N,n =,~, c~w=== c,m stolen with me." Genesis Chapter 30
From Heraclitus of Ephesus and later philosophers, we can deduce
that observation of natural phenomena, even when keen and accurate,
will not result in meaningful knowledge unless combined with
analysis of the mind; just as analysis of the mind without
acquaintance with natural phenomena will not suffice to grasp the
perceivable world. Only familiarity with phenomena combined with
mental analysis will lead to additional knowledge. The citation
from Genesis, Chapter 30, is part of an unusual story. It tells how
Jacob received, as payment for his service to Laban, the bulk of
Laban's herds. By agreement, Jacob was to receive "only" the
newborn speckled and spotted goats and the newborn brown sheep that
differed completely from their parents. Did Jacob know that there
was instability (transposable elements?) in the pigmentation of
Laban's herd? It is reasonable to assume that Jacob combined his
keen observation with analysis of his mind in order to predict the
outcome: most of the newborns were indeed speckled, spotted or
brown.
