Re: Mind's Eye Instinct for survival

The pointlessness of the points' business. Like Lee, I find the God concept much more to the point. :)

I don't follow Lee's sequencing model - first spirit, then matter - though. This sounds very man-made to me. ;)

As for the storytelling aspect, yes, the Chronos story is much more vivid than the "God created (x) and saw it was good" story. That's true. But the children are less likely to have bad dreams at night. Which is really good.

Sorry, Allan, I got carried away. What were you talking about?
