this is an even clearer way for putting it, thanks for that. I must admit I forgot most of those details. Clifford’s program feels to me a mix of fascinating ahead of his time ideas, together with other just not yet ripe ideas. Fans can pick one side, skeptics the other, almost a win win 😅 But that reminds me at a todo from long ago for future me: digging deeper into the Clifford program to understand his reasoning and differentiate it from the confusion stemming from the time (and lack of internet) of his days. Superficially his ideas are fascinating. Though I did not find the time to deep dive.
