After reading a few of your posts, I'd have to say you suffer from Fortune Cookie OCD. No more take out for you. Warlord Steve BAAWA

That is, a number, but a very imaginary one at that. Maybe that's your role in life: to provide the closure to reality?

You defined yourself as a (1) object. From this you abstract '1.0'. If there can not be .99 of an object but only no (0) object, there are no fewer than just you. If, on the other hand, you or another would defined yourself as a set of objects, say organs or cells, the same argument could be made by readjusting the definition of object or '1'. So the reason for all this is your own very special reason.

Dear John, I would imagine you are a subject not an object, though sometimes you manage to show so much disregard for the posts you react to that you might indeed be a mere robot. Meanwhile some people may believe what you are saying here and consider you to be nothing at all. (0) I do hope you are more than that. . . .
