There are no mysteries.

There is just incomplete exposure.

Once something enters into our ken, we may or may not understand, believe or accept it, but it is there nonetheless.

Just the fact that we can formulate such questions indicates to me that they are not only valid but the real test is how many possible alternatives exist and how each one may affect us.

Getting there is all the fun.

Quote: "If we set aside the intellectual aspect of your query, before I attempt to address your questions/statements, just exactly how did what I had to say make you feel?"

The language you use gives the appearance of profundity, that the other posts do not have. Yet when I look more closely, the meaning is hidden and looks like mere word play.

So you are concerned with the appearance of profundity (relative to the other postings) or you feel that I am jerking you around with wordplay and not saying anything of substance?

I would be very interested in knowing what you have to say on the subject but I appreciate the commentary and will attempt to more directly address the subject. You have to admit that this is a pretty profound subject though and that while it appears nebulous and daunting, it is certainly central to our current and eventual experience.

How about (blame Helene for putting me into this frame of mind with that question about SW bugs ):

void __noreturn Death()
{
*Consciousness = NULL;
}

Since we may be programmed (after a fashion) and just be executing our own code, the reference may have more to do with the topic than might be imagined.
