Why would you not want to fix the U.S.? Or fix the world, for that matter? Not just for your own benefit, but for everybody else's? > For the second, I've seen enough of fame to never > want it for myself. Oh, heck, you could do it pseudonymously, and arrange things so nobody ever found out it was you. The point isn't the fame but the ability to write the World's Greatest Novel. Why don't you write it? > For the first, what is there > about America *worth* fixing? :-) Another thought-stopper. Fix it from the ground up. And if there's never been anything about the U.S. you thought was worth fixing, why didn't you move away long ago? > > > Those who cannot conceive of being able to have a > > > certain capacity can't. Simple as that. Let's go back to this for a second.

OK, so finding out about the techniques and learning and using them successfully are just more things you can do if you believe you can. > But you don't really care about any of this.

You don't like to have your assumptions and beliefs examined, I'd say because you're afraid you won't be able to make them stand up to examination.
