Kim says: Every person carries a unique perspective, their 1p perception of "reality". This is the main reason I go with comp; it's a vaccine as Bruno says, agsinst the elimination of the person. Indeed, if comp is true, persons are the only things that are the really real part of reality.
Richard responds: That is one of the main reasons I do not go with comp since the universe seemingly got along without persons for such a long time. If I remember correctly when I questioned Bruno, he responded that the universe can do without persons but is not so robust (my word). I do not recall exactly how Bruno expressed it.
