The chunk 186 The message -950-

Ахмед долго, уже почти бесцельно бродил, стараясь не нарушить тишину, по редкому лесу, любуясь пейзажами, открывающимися на вечереющее небо и уже почти забыл, зачем он здесь. Тут он услышал едва уловимый звук и увидел перья на земле. Ахмед тихонько, чтобы не спугнуть петуха, осторожно пошел на звук. Выглянул из-за камня.
Внизу животное поедало их праздничного петуха. Ахмед подумал, что это одна из их собак и ох, сейчас он задаст ей трепку!
Он, не таясь уже, спустился быстро вниз к пиршеству и остолбенел.
Это была не собака. Это был волк. Его пасть была в крови и в перьях. Петух был съеден почти дочиста, но зверюга все еще казалась голодной.

Hello Ahmed,
The next portion of my garbage.
What a pity I am not capable of making something clever from all the information I meet and the knowledge I see. I can't even remember something properly. Today I started watching lectures by Robert Sapolsky. The book he offered for reading was "Chaos" by James Gleick. I've found it in Russian: it's a very interesting book. But I am sure I'll understand nothing. I read it only because I like most of the thoughts and facts that were written there. I wish I could digest all of that. I am going to listen to one or two lectures from Sapolsky in a week: it can take about three months.
What do I remember about the introduction I’ve listened to today? Not too much: I did some notes I left at work. Interesting things were said about the methods of analyzing the behavior of people. Don't use only one category making conclusions, look at an object from different points of view, change the direction and position, and use different categories, and join them, he says.
He supposes humans have ordinary biological essence, which can be compared with an animal's one. But only humans use physiological processes in a very unusual way for the animal's world. Oh, my God, I am stupid. He spoke very fast and I easily understood him, but now I don't remember anything. About the book, "Chaos": Robert said he had read it at least twice: as soon as he ended reading, he started to read it again, so I hope it is normal if I don't understand something at once.

This book changed his view on how it should be thought in science. "If you want to understand something, watch, for example, you have to break it into small parts to understand each of the chunks, and when you join them all together again, you will understand the whole complex thing." he said, "but this method doesn't fit difficult systems, such as behavior. Behavior more similar to a cloud."

Ok, the first: the most usual reason to hate you is the reason for hatred that most people use: you are an Other. You are an alien and you cannot help scaring me. Do you remember how I scared you in the beginning, as you confessed to me in one of your first messages? Did you hate me, sweet Ahmed?
