Today my Yahoo! Mail account was pounded by a deluge of virus-ridden spam, so if you sent me a message and it was returned to you, that's why. My in-box was 117% full; I'm not even sure how that's possible.
I occurred to me this morning that the argument over the nature of consciousness (whether it's an epiphenomenal by-product or the reason for our existence) is basically a dumb, binary way of approaching the subject. Consciousness might be both a side-effect of cognition and a pivotal evolutionary development.
Yesterday I caved and ordered "The Communion Letters" from Strieber's site. I'm looking forward to it.
