What if everything Nick was saying was true (about the absense of true 1st
person) , but only for Nick, and other's like him for whom behaviorist ideas
make sense? What if, for Nick, there really is no there, there (or a "me"
here), but the idea doesn't make sense to others, because there is a "me"
there... (I'm sure this idea has been stated before, and it's distracting
nonsense, but I don't have much else to contribute, and I didn't think it'd
be right to just post, "mumble, mumble" so I could pretend I was
participating)  ~~James.
