> [@H200h](#): > > The philosopher Heraclitus, Capt. James Cook, and Abraham Lincoln The questions I would have are: 1. Capt. James Cook: What were your official orders on your first voyage to the Pacific Ocean? 2. Heraclitus: What was your view of change before you discovered the theory of flux? 3.
