I appreciate your view on authority, Vee.

I think people can connect, if they want to, and what connection means to
each. But connectedness is a new face for morality and spiritualism creeping
into all disciplines.

Just because someone says subatomic particles are all connected, doesn't
mean they are, outside the model in his head. The same goes for people, too.

I like it when I can connect. It's fun. But I'm not going to connect the way
someone tells me to. I'm also going to refute any assertion based on
essential qualities of being human, or true functioning of the universe, or
silly shit like that.
