Is this 'a dialogue between mankind and nature', as Prigogine says? Well, yes, in the same kind of weird way as in all our representations of the world. A dialogue between the silent performer in a game of Dumb Crambo and his team, as I suggested before. Or between a ventriloquist and his doll, perhaps, where the doll has a mind of its own and feels free to mock the ventriloquist- but can do it only in so far as the ventriloquist puts the words in its mouth. Between Hamlet and the Ghost, where the incorporeal figment of Hamlet's uneasy imagination tells him things he did not know - but can do it only in the words that Hamlet imagines for him.

There is nothing wrong with being young and idealistic. Just that when you are young and idealistic, you are often wrong.
