***OTOH*** [On The Other Hand] ***More Rant*** Exposing my argumentative streak, I wouldn't go so far as to say 'sacred individuality'. In fact I'd even venture to say that we only exist in relation to the external world in general and other people in particular. People go quite insane quite quickly if deprived of sensory input and they become quite peculiar if deprived of, well, love. Or social integration to put it more generally.

It's all very weird if you ask me. So our individuality serves to enhance the whole and involuntary sacrifice of our individuality damages the whole and the individual and the whole each only exist because of and in relation to the other. A bit like a male and female, two strands of DNA and stuff like that...quarks and things...

Now we are overlaying the whole with a Web and that increasingly exposes the non-human aspect of the whole = something bigger than any of us but still only existing in relation to us. The Web could perhaps replace the government institutions and other collective aspects of human life which seem to be human but which are actually a collective product of it. Half-baked, but maybe it makes some sense.

I'm also not one for Bibles by either Ayn Rand or King Henry or whoever wrote the Shakespearian version of what is claimed to be the dinkum oil on whassup. Though a couple of years ago somebody did lend me a copy and I read it with interest. I'd include the Koran but I heard that unless you accept that as the dinkum oil, you get a Rushdie curse put on you and people come and hunt you down for money to prove that what the Koran says is correct. You can prove it's correct by making sure nobody says anything different. So at least I can tell THAT is the real oil. I admire and take as true the Koran though I haven't read it, but at least that way I won't risk finding myself in involuntary disagreement.

I wouldn't let your respect for my mind get out of hand, [unless you feel the need to send me money of course in which case US$1000 is the average mark of respect]; you should see it from the INSIDE! But thanks for the compliment anyway.

Maurice
