Re this, and taking my cue from your comment on the previous post:
1. [HUGE HUGS]
2. It was *not* a stupid argument. And while the article's framing argument hit a nerve with me, many of the things mentioned in it are actually worth making more people aware of. *I'm* sorry for coming on a bit strong, driven largely by a 29 year old big-bear on the point of people assuming a metaphor chosen to illustrate one point constitutes my entire approach to understanding a given topic (how human memory works, as it happens!).
And it occurs to me, belatedly, that maybe the writing of the article was driven by just such a bugbear on the author's part. Trying to fight a battle that's already been won, bar a bit of mopping up...? If so, I hope that having got it all off his chest was as cathartic for him as it seems to have been for me. =:o}
3. [MORE HUGE HUGS]
---
On to happier thoughts: They're (*finally*!) letting me leave town for a bit next week! Any preferences for when I should come down?
Would also be very interested in any thoughts you have on modular synths, btw (beyond "Well I can't afford one, can you?"/"Nah")... which you may have noticed have been much on my mind of late, along with various other obsessions from my teenage years.
