Copying Üß A good copy is exactly as its prototype. The form, content or qualitiy is not changed in any way, only the fact that one thing ²² becomes more. This is especially beneficial if you have for example an ice-cold beer, and this is duplicated into one more, the result ß²²ÜÜ° being twice as good. °ßß²ÛÜÜ Although, good things are not always tangible values. If the same principle is translated into an economical circumstance, ÜÜ ßÛÛ²Ü it might not be as satisfying. The demand will decrease and thereby also the price, as a result of many copies. This would of course on ÛÛÛÜ Û²² the other hand diminish the differences between rich and poor, since there would be enough of everything for everyone.

Eclecticism °ßßß²²²²²ÜÜ The belief in an original idea, created the term eclecticism. But, what exactly is originality?

Dejà vu Déjà vu - already seen - can the phenomenon be described as the memory ßßßßßß copying itself? Or is it rather the coincidences copying themselves in front of your eyes? Üß The beer parable: ²² Perhaps the memory is in all things surrounding us. When you come closer to for example an ice-cold beer you recall ß²²ÜÜ° ice-cold-beer episodes from what you believe is your own memory. But, in fact this is not your history, it is implanted in the beer's °ßß²ÛÜÜ tale telling property. ÜÜ ßÛÛ²Ü And, memory works in different ways for everybody. Different capacities, different directions, too. Sometimes memory helps you think, sometimes it ÛÛÛÜ Û²² impedes. However, isn't the memory a premise for the act of copying?
