Abstract

“Most of the things worth doing in the world have been declared impossible before they were done.” Justice Louis Brandeis

“Trans-empirical” is one fuzzy (semi-nonsensical) way of looking at the Guinan, difficult to define, stem goals/behaviors (mentioned in chapter 2—allow things to happen rather than make them happen etc.—not stem areas of “science, technology, engineering, and math”.) We can know more about those 12 stem events than we can tell. We can learn to do them in ways other than by being told.
