Peace, Bill

The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give
an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

No, more like "the French word for a rear shifter on a bicycle" Ans "what is a derailleur"

No, SS'ers know what a derailleur is. But their definition - "That thing I DON'T have on MY bike"
possibly wouldn't be good enough.
