Hey, sorry for seemingly lying about not being around. But it turns out the vacationing environment has wifi, *and* those we're vacationing with apparently don't arise as early as their "good game talkin'" suggested they do.
I couldn't agree more.
But to me going the full distance on this is a matter of seeing the even more dangerous religion underlying that referenced in the article, namely faith in a free-willed individual calling itself "I". There's no horror a biological system drunk on that faith *can't* inflict upon itself and all the rest.
As usual, gloriously well put! I especially enjoyed:

But on the craps table of life, it's unlikely I'll ever be sliding any of my chips to betting on a necessary preponderance of offenders rehabilitating themselves. For the majority, it seems one "rocket science" non-epiphany after another. And the built-in self-love driving their behavior is immune to incoming intelligence.
I mean, right off the bat the mass acid trip also known as "the Christmas season" is showing me once again the only reasonable hope is *not* to live forever in this hell of other incomprehensibly stupid beings.
