Having reached the Third Group of Questions, by now you will have noticed that typically each set of questions consists of about five or six basic Q&A exchanges. Sometimes these are separate questions from different readers, sometimes a series of questions from one reader posed in a single email or a series of emails between the reader and me.
I've been asked why I don't group these into areas of subject matter, or label them as to what they pertain to. Basically, I feel the chronological ordering -- which rathers mixes subject focus -- is the best approach. If this were an analytical treatise, building an intellectual model for proof and confirmation, a rigid thematic order would be helpful and desirable. But it isn't. So it isn't. My purpose here is to delve into life's many aspects and the illusions created by beliefs and common cultural assumptions. That intent is best approached in the manner of choice here, dealing with subject matter as it comes up through reader questioning. Also, as is worthy of note, it's a lot easier doing it this way.
The pieces in this section were accumulated from 2000 through early 2002.
