I may have even participated in that thread. (Pause for a few deep
breaths)....

When I was a child many very well thought of people really thought that
the brain and the body were separate. I thought this was pretty funny.
I used to see everyone as a body with a head on top and a gap of air
somewhere in the middle of the neck... I was rather taken with the idea
that I might be able to remove my head from my body.

Don't we think differently now? Our concept of contradiction is what is
faulty or incomplete. You are correct. Things that are true are not
contradictory.

What is true?
