Very interesting, very ambitious, very good (meaning some hit home for me). Bravo. Much more to say in due course, Deo volante, but has been a huge drive and otherwise long day, and in case I don't get there, keep up the good work!

When asked about how she feels about the influence her work has on other people, Hannah Arendt says in an interview that she doesn't consider the effect of her work much, but: "When other people understand in the same sense as I have understood, then that gives me a feeling of pacification, like a sense of belonging."

I felt that reading this. Thank you - by which I mean, because I know you only expressed what you had to, writing this - the universe is great and life is altogether, wonderful.

This is like boullion before you've added the broth. Will you elaborate on how you reached these conclusions, or are we forced to toss this whole into our brains and hope it dissolves into lasting flavors?

How did I reach these conclusions? Through an arduous process of logistic and syllogistic analysis, which I then fed into the world's smallest computer, which then referred me to one of God's lazier angels, who dictated the rest.

Nah, I didn't mean to ask how you reached them. I meant I would have liked you to show how you reached these conclusions, at least to some degree, so that they might have more meaning to me. Right now they remind me of a collage of headlines.
