@Tim- thanks for the link! I’m still fascinated by the ideas in the book.

@Gnorb – thanks for writing

And I’d like to repeat what Gnorb stated in his post: I completely understand those who don’t respond to memes.

That MRI applet is great. Shame it had to come from something so touch-and-go.

‘Snow Crash’ – can’t claim to have read it that young. Ran across this article about it the other day. It’s heavy going but posits some fascinating interpretations of Stephenson’s worldview.

Sure thing about the links; I’ve listened to a lot of his other talks via Zencast / Audio Dharma, and have enjoyed all of them.

Thanks Josh, also for the links to the Fronsdal lectures. Meditating has been really interesting so far and I’m sure it will only get better.

Good luck on the meditation; I’ve personally found it to be very beneficial. I’ll put my list up in a day or two.
