I note jbor's exception.
Perhaps it's time for a straw poll. Do I annony more than inform?
I do value the idea that my narrow niche ideas are being left in
an archive probably more permanent than my own personal web site.
A less strident aside:
Today, while working on reading the arcana, I had one of those
'other' voices in my head. Not my own voice, and probably not an
aspect of me, because it addressed me as "you" and seemed to be
able to see me, although I am ostensibly alone at my computer,
saying, with empathy, "You look <....>". And, what seems really
magical, is that the <....> contained two words simultaneously,
"tired" and "bored", both words mentally "heard", both exactly
simultaneous, and not interfering with each other.
Of course, this could just be an aspect of consiousness on the
model of a collaborative data sharing blackboard in a race
condition, or perhaps the communicating entity had a concept
that imperfectly maps into my English capabilities.
Little things like that, when I otherwise decry you cannot infer
anything about death from records of poetic death, give me faith.
Yours truly,
