    Hi Mark,

    Sorry to side tract you, but would you expand on this paragraph a
    bit. Nihilism, good and bad?

    If I wiped out an anthill, and ants were self-conscious, they might
    judge the event 'bad'. But is it a bad event, or is it an
    event? What does labeling an event good or bad accomplish?
