Nobody I know is envious of the glutton. More likely to pity them for
having little self control or sense of sharing. Bad role models, I
suspect. I do appreciate that you said humans. Very cool, Platt.
Thank you for doing that.
BTW, I'm here on the MOQ because the material means so little to me
and I can thank Pirsig, long, long ago for helping me appreciate the
non material.

-- C.L. Everett Free from idealities and pseudo-goals, man has only function as his guiding force. Shamans call this impeccability. For them, to be impeccable means to do one's utmost best and a bit more. They derived function from seeing energy directly as it flows in the universe. If energy flows in a certain way, to follow the flow of energy is, for them, being functional. Function is, therefore, the common denominator by means of which shamans face energetic facts of their cognitive world.
