Well, this is where it starts to get spooky. I 'acknowledge' gravity, and the rest of physical laws, and I play by the rules -- I'm okay with the idea that if you jump off the Empire State Building naked, you will probably be dead when you hit the sidewalk. I'm fine with the concept that if I drive my Mustang really, really fast until a brick wall interrupts me, there will almost certainly be pain of some sort involved. And... I also acknowledge that there are loopholes to every physical law. For instance, 80 years ago the idea that a man might land on the moon would, to most people, be lugubriously impossible, like the idea of flying under your own steam might be to you now. I don't know what I don't know, and that leaves open the possibility (or even probability) that what Angela the avatar thinks is impossible are things that none of us has figured out how to do yet. In other words, I believe that nothing is impossible.
Because of that, I don't have any interest anymore in arguing anyone out of their beliefs. Which is not to say that it's not fun to explain perspectives that I am trying on, or to promote tools I find useful! Doing that is a whole lot of fun, because it's really myself I'm talking to, anyway. You know, like John, or Me as he's also known.
d'oh! there I go with that third person thing again! Sorry, John.
