To add to this, the point is to discover new information all the time
and thereby have a constantly changing "you". Hopefully improving in the
process, which is what logic is for. The real difference is information,
or propaganda. Supportable evidence is not an outside influence, it is a
course correction. Propaganda is falsified information designed to
influence. Nateman, you have a tendency to add to some of my postings
in a way that makes me want to work with you sometime. It seems that we
have different ways of looking at the same thing.
