You don't disagree with me, you just haven't thought carefully enough about things - it's always easiest to just accept the fashionable mantras, catechisms and litanies. Everything makes sense when you have the right information, and think correctly. Which is not to say that everything is amenable to such understanding as we have only 1 kg of wet chemistry brain with which to understand everything that is. Even turbo-charged with Google and the stupendously vast and burgeoning Cyberspace realm, we are mere gnats on the Cosmos. Drinking from Cyberspace is like sipping from a fire-hose. TJ smart? No, he's just your average plonker who got lucky. <<Jay (sharpest Chinese Mongrel I know) >> Or so he says anyway. But one should be circumspect about such modesty. The point is to be sure to give weighting to luck because without luck, we're in big trouble fast. And probability is stacked against us so that we each have just 0.0000000001% chance of long term reproductive success - all others being obliterated as just random experiments in gene pool filtration. Long term = 30,000 years. But that's looking backwards through the Malthusian carnage that got us here. Looking forwards to the singularity, things are speeding up. 7 billion people now in the experiment. Name one thing on which we disagree. Mqurice
