    Hi Robert, and all,

    Just a quick note to say thanks for your thoughts, and that I like
    your idea of our uploading our intellectual program from our
    cultures. Probably just the Computer Sci guy in me. This seems to
    me just about right on, or spot on if you're a Brit. Opening
    ourselves up to the programs of other cultures, that is, speaking
    geek, creating a component interface between different operating
    environments, seems like a high-quality way of internetting our
    species, IMHO.

    Anyway, thanks for your comments, and for proving my point that there
    are a whole lot of intelligent list-lurkers out there.

    Hope to hear more from you.

    Best,
    Mark Steven Heyman (msh)

    Science/Intellect, but biological cells that receive and send 
    information to and from other cells are communicating and are
    therefore involved in intellectual activity.
    As to a 'collective conscienceness' that is the only conscienceness
    there is, because your mind is not yours, it's ours. Mind is one
    thing.  Each culture shares the same mind, because it shares the same
    language and the same ideas. If you disagree, tell me with what you
    think if not with words. Your body did not invent those words.  You
    'uploaded the program' from the culture.  'Your' mind and the program
    are the same thing.  We all share the same program.
