Just as a forewarning/FYI, this relates to another post, which I may make and link to later.

I can not believe you did that in computer talk... nevermind yes I can. However, it was well stated. I won't post my long opinion though cuz we had this talk a couple of days ago and my brain isn't working right now.

Hmm. "Perception patches." Sounds like a good metaphor for drugs and booze ( ... )

Heya! :)

Yeah, I agree with your "imitation of observed behaviour" idea. Watching some kids nowadays, I get to wonder how much their parents realize the influence of TV and movies.

And I dig the flowchart model, too. Heh... sometimes, it scares the CRAP out of me when I hear some people explain their "train of thought" in that way. I think it's kinda amazing that a culture so diverse (in beautiful and ugly ways) can operate so smoothly.

Heh... it seems the modern version of "Empathy" is "I want to get in touch with your feelings only as much as it helps me reach my goals." Indeed, it's hard to fathom what the Founding Christians would think of what we've got going today.

Thanks for the input! :)
