Re: Kill the bugs...

But seriously, H.P. is right, if we could correlate all the mind's contents we'd be like James Joyces eternal insomniac running the river of Finnegan's Wake endlessly, looping and looping, in a totalized vision, wherein, as one astute critic suggests, the "erasure of memory" finds us in that "totalizing machinery of the hegemonic system that brings exploitation, terror, and misery to society."

Or God. "A mind that encompasses the entire universe and all that is in it" matches about every description I've read of the mind of God, and the ability to correlate it is implied as well.

Not that that's much help to us.
