Well, there are people who believe just that and I have only one argument -
it's too alien to think about. Perhaps with time my approach or theirs will
prevail, whichever is better compatible with survival (just like everything
else, it's practical consequences that ultimately determine the spread and
survival of a meme). Of course, I think my ideas ARE better, that's why I am
not a Buddhist.
