SA: I mean 'free'. What I'm trying to explain is how
thoughts have a certain freedom detached from human
influence to a certain extent. Now where the line is
drawn has grown and in some ways ideas have lasted for
thousands and thousands, tens of thousands years up to
present human practice. I see ideas as parasites,
living much longer than a human life span, and will
last in books and the internet for a very long time.
Of course, humans are necessary to reproduce and
decipher ideas, but ideas show a tendency that they
can live without humans. They are not trapped in skin
and bones.

SA: Your correct. I completely agree. "Nothing can
really exist by itself". It is all connected. This
is what Ron and I are discussing in the [MD] This
Event.

in a very long time, the snow is coming down again -
