Hi Theos. You will never run out of material such as the below, will you?
There is always more. The further you get away from the core, the less "you"
there will be and the more a series of mechanical reactions. This takes you
into the mouth of the wolf where, when ever the faint hope of something new
or original starts to arise, it is immediately and continuously devoured.
Because you do not have the discrimination to select material in such a way
that you can construct and design with it and apparently do not want to
learn how to do so, there is no way to reach you or connect with you, but
you are good to use as an example, and in this way, the wheat can be more
efficiently separated from the chaff. This list is actually a good place for
you, as there are many others like you, and a few who are not like you,
which makes a big contrast. Between the this and the that there is a
potential for a certain kind of material to be gleaned that can be used as
food for the development of something higher in a few. In this way you, too,
can be a participant in the establishment of a universal brotherhood that
does not flounder over unrealistic and utopian ideals. People like you make
messages like this easy to write. Sincerely, Wry
