There is only going to be enough intellectual fuel for one survivor when the forum crashes out for good. Most cannot run their thinking gear at these low psychic energies, close to being in a CIA isolation chamber around here these later days. My Buddhist meditation training helps. To think here is nothing. The Zen and meaning of it. The Force. The Tao. The great cloud of unknowing. And all that mystical stuff. Yet still a rational site.JimC wrote:At least Scumple stimulates bursts of posting here...

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould
