<I believe that all things are a matter of self interest,>

I am very pleased and very shocked. I have never spoken to another person who understood this. There is not a single word in your message I do not feel I understand or agree with. I believe very few people ever reach this point.

<my personal conception of a pantheistic and monistic Universe is not necessarily the one I would vote for as something that would meet the best interests of society>

On the level I think you meant this I agree. But if you put aside our self interest and look at the universe as a whole I believe it is the best.

PS. Have you ever tried to explain what you said in the message and had someone truely understand that did not understand before?
