Yocke states that " Life is a continuous battle between young and old, old and new, innovation and tradition".

I dont think so, and never believed such, as it seems foreign to me. Life itself is an experience by the beholder of a physical body or potentially a spirit without body (holding the potential for the supernatural open).

Thus the mind has always captured and imposed upon the physical world. Its making sense of things and creativity is not a battle inherently. The old and the new are timestamps on a line of actions. It doesn't have to be a battle neither a synergy. Instead it is inherently the experience, of being creative and making sense of things.

I wont deny that some make it into a battle, but i let the fools be fools and strain another as-well as themselves apart.
