Perhaps you are employing some satire. I'm just trying to report what Neo thinks, now that I think I've finally figured it out. Neo has set up this contrast between his world and Russell's. I don't know yet what I think about what Neo thinks, except that it's interesting, but I'll let you both know when I know. This is Neo's explanation for why Russell's humans aren't human as opposed to Neo's and God's humans, which are. <<. There is no free will, since in Russell's universe there are only two alternatives, strict physical causality or randomness, not self- determination. Self- awareness is an illusion, since "consciousness" would be diffuse throughout a system, with no summary point. >> I can't seem to force my brain to work on these things when it's not in the mood. So I just hand the problem over to my right brain, which ruminates in background at its own pace. Then when it's ready for me to consciously think about it, it lets me know. Usually it doesn't take this long, though... Perhaps you and Neo will have it all sorted out by then. Karen
