    Thanks, autophobe. :)

    Not everyone is as reasonable in discussion as you are, and I didn't know where you were coming from. It seemed best to be clear about how I arrived at my opinions - not just for you, but also for other readers who might have never encountered someone with experiences like mine.

    I do think it boils down to your last statement: "i'll have to look elsewhere for an explanation as to why the situation you describe is not morally problematic..." I haven't arrived myself at the point where I can completely view the situation as not being morally problematic, so I'm not a well-qualified apologist in this area. :D

    You said in an earlier post, "i suppose that makes sense, when one achieves transcendent knowledge, one, to a certain extent, leaves these petty observations behind." And that's why there's not much point in discussing it if we haven't yet achieved that transcendental knowledge. Until we do, we can only acknowledge the possibility in a half-hearted intellectual way.

    I was going to elaborate some more on possible aids to understanding the transcendental viewpoint better, but frankly this morning I'm agreeing with you that it's morally reprehensible. :D Maybe I'll pull myself together some other day...

    zen may say he receives wonderous kindness though the measure
    of it as consistent is an impossibility . he is a friend to such anarchy .

    ^^^
    reasonably , the anarchy of kindness cannot be unkind tho
    sure the kindness of stupid people is within it . the devotee
    of kindness humbly grows in wisdom .

    walmart seems better than it used to be - back when they pretended
    through confessional advertising to be an ideal catagorical love family .
    that cheerful loving greeter was un-nerving to me who is an unbeliever
    in
    spiritual consumerism .

    sometimes it's kind to say no when they ask can i help you .

    When I get like this, my "spirit guide" Deanna tries to distract me telepathically. I suppose that's a kindness, except that I see through the ruse now, and if I'm on a demonic roll it just pisses me off even more. :D

    sometimes i think the world blinks on and off . exists then doesn't
    then does ... on and on . we live in a cartoon filmstrip . people who
    understand this can evilly mess with yo head so that you miss a blink .
    two not-exists in a row is distress , and the other way is unrestful .
    it is unkind to manipulate the constistently inconsistent (blimeyblinkin' )
    reality unless it's obviously just a funny joke trick .

    Results are consistent with premise and are always of a like kind.
    The appearance of inconsistency comes from our arbitrary units of measure.

    it's bound to be weird when we observe with an
    arbitrary unit
    and cripey!
    to then process that observation with yet another one
    creates bad nonsense .

    an anarchy unit can be useful especially for perception .
    a kind universe favors this in you , and may then grant
    you a second like perception so you can measure meaningfulness .

    even if you go process that further with an arbitrary unit like sci-fi
    the resulting nonsense can be very good enough nonsense as a story
    about something just realized yet not welll understood .

    One of my favorite gambits is to observe with humor and then measure with horror. "Let's put a smile on that face!"
