Yes, this is good... but there is a limit to the amount of banal
material I am willing to expose myself to. And I can't stand
commercials! This is one of the reason why I'm thinking of attending
Church, at least for a few sundays. Memetic exposure. Another reason
is that I'd really like to test out this "level 3" idea of actually
containing <B>BOTH</B> viewpoint with respect to God... What I see is
running a kind of "level 2" shell of my (hopefully) level 3 brain. This
level 2 shell would beleive in God... what scares me is how /dangerous/
this could be. I'm actually contimplating deliberatly splitting my
consciousness into parts. Damn I sure hope I'm capable of this...

appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it and, above all,
accurately so they will be guided by its light. -- Joseph Pulitzer
