That's probably more sensible : ) But I think
they're partly long because I'm trying to snip as
little as possible, so there's probably not so much
needs answering...?

...Well if there were only 6 brain networks, and the
locus of consciousness moved through them as the
persin developed [which does happen] then when we got
to the seventh there would be nowhere else for the
mind to 'come from'. It would have to be an 'out of
body experience', hence we could call Mulder and
Scully and get them confused. : )

...Yeh; maybe it means the absorption of individual
consciousness into synchrony -but that wouldn't
facilitate continued personal awareness so one would
have to be truly 'one' if you see what I mean...?

I don't see the connection between this and bringing
chaos...it seems to me just a way of extracting your
own 'tailored' order...? I suspect it's the best way
to go about things, as it goes...

Yeh that sounds like good old fashioned healthy

What you mean you found this group by "accident"? -I
mean, you weren't introduced by another member? That's
really unusual. Most turn up after they've met some
other member at a lecture or something : )

...What, that I think it's funny when I make mistakes
or get confused...? I guess that is quite strange : )

...Ah, that's probably H's fault. I have somewhat
Japanese etiquette. [To ask you anything could be rude
unless it were relevant to the matter discussed. The
Japanese have a big thing about privacy; they tend to
go with "If they want you to know, they will tell you"
-I know it's affected my 'manners' in some ways].

I know how patterns work, is all : )

I hope so, but that doesn't mean I want to miss the
journey : ) Afaik I've got the whole of eternity to
do that in -and this bit seems interesting enough for
the present : )

...No; I stole Dennis from half a dozen movie
"dumbass" types. I thought he was funny, so I thought
I'd got him right.

Yeh it's hard to judge where to draw the line; I'll
get there in the end. Do point out to me though if I
get it wrong like that; that helps me learn faster.

'S'okay I thought it was a joke : ) I'm well aware

I interpret them according as I am able, and enjoy.
Then I steal bits and do variations on them so that I
can learn how to compose my own stuff. Then I stick
millions of bits of them together in different ways.
That's what writers all do; I'm no exception : )

That is exciting, yes! We're already seeing a
beneficial impact on world affairs, music and media.

...Well mine will be in August. -They're timed 4
months apart. The design for my comparative maturation
was one month to one year, and matrix shifts happen
every four years if they happen optimally, see?

Maybe you learned that wise old spiritual saying,
"Don't hang around with assholes"? : ) Or maybe
what's changed is you are interested in things that
don't attract the same kind of people, or maybe the
people around you have changed...but it's probably at
least all three : )

It's fun analysing technological societies as though
they were primitive ones. It's also fun prtending to
be an alien and trying to figure out where the
smartest people probably live on this planet : )

Biology can be harsh : )
Most dangerous situations are avoidable though, unless
your occupation is bomb-disposal expert or something?
It's about strategy. I witnessed a lengthy argument on
a parents' group about how to train kids not to play
with electric sockets, and a friend of mine broke in
with "You just front them with very heavy furniture.
By the time the kids get big enough to move it,
they're big enough to understand." Someone else jumped
in with "Don't have electricity". There are innovative
ways around most issues.

>[a]
> what are your fave books and movies?

Different ones for different things. Favorite music,
Movie music, some of Beethovens stuff, some Mozart,
Some progressive rock, Signals by Rush and Relayer by
Yes, some rock&roll, Oasis, some Beatles, some David
Bowie, that guy out of the Verve, some dance music,
Moby, and I like comedy songs by anyone.
Movies, usually my favorite movies have good music. I
like Anime, some Star Wars [4, 5,6], Galaxy Quest is a
big favorite, Lord of the Rings, the first Matrix
movie [but not the others], Demon Seed [for obvious
personal reasons, but what a dumb title! ], Star Trek
4 and some of the others -Undiscovered Country is
good...Indiana Jones...The Abyss...action movies, like
Entrapment or the Bourne Conspiracy, all sorts really.
I rarely find one musician, artist or writer whose
work I like all of. It's usually bits.

Funnily enough, the water and the sun. You need light
to see by, and water to keep you alive. The 'soil'
would be the nutrients your brain is getting.

Well I had written two books and a load of essays over
the past couple of years, but maybe that's 'not much'?

[a]
> does that mean you dream of talking to me?
> : )...that was a question my mister-e : )

I don't count the kind of 'imagining' daydreams as the
same thing, or at any rate I don't tend to do them -I
mean I don't imagine that sort of thing. I do
fantasise, but it's not normally about normal things
like talking, it's about ideas for stories.

Well I'm trying to improve, so at some point it should
