Chapter 2, 'Production Systems' carries a topic describing the characteristics of a problem. One of such characteristics debates on 'If the solution is a state or the path to a state'. Let me put that in double quotes and make it more obvious: "If the solution is a state or the path to a state". Aha! that just puts everything worldly into frame. Forces us to think whether our aim - if we have one - is more important than the means we plan to use to achieve it. Whether we wish to reach our destiny by doing anything possible or whether we attach more significance to what we do midway than the destiny itself. Whether actions take preference over the aim, or the vice versa.
Feel like Frances(Owen Wilson) from "The Darjeeling Limited", where he picks up on a line by Brendan - "We haven't located us yet" - and derives a much deeper meaning from it, while all it was in reference to was their train taking a wrong route and getting lost.
Hopefully I come across more of it, still have 90% of the course left. The first 10% has been so profound!
