Back in 1997, there was a mailing list called awaken, started around Julie's old Awaken site, which attracted some rather interesting characters. One of them is named bRYEnd Prosser and his writing style... is interesting. Here's a typical example, try wrapping your brain around it...
Subject: Re: World Brain workshop + RE-deferring Consciousness as evolutionary.
>In June 1997 Kristina started this..
K>>I would invite an equal mix of physicists, biologists, computer scientists, K>>systems people, visionaries, and anyone else interested in the behavior of K>>complex (let's define that as interacting multicomponent) systems. OK, K>>maybe I will let one librarian in, but just one.
(^it's hard right now for me to write.. I have work to do. (^but I climbed back into my back-up files for this next piece. (^..it may relate to why so much research IS in the hands of librarians. (^interested parties need somewhere to download their theories on what's happening.

(^>and the maybe creating TAE instead of settling for JAVA.
(^> The Eudora Pro , version 2.1.2, is the Spell Checker I'm using. (^> The ramifications of setting the options to : always suggest, (^> and leaving ALL other options turned off, and always hitting ignore , (^> is that of unzipping alternative meanings to what I type.

(^> Go back to living in the "REAL" world, Where everything bad is from the (^> outside. I wont believe that. Could and have, but won't for now. (^> We just fool ourselves into thinking politeness is honorable, (^> even if it covers seething rage at our own impudent ' imputtance '.
