Earlier today (or, depending on where you are, yesterday), I wrote, in response to Phil Enns: …When I’m drowning, it’s mere life I want; when I want an operation that would prevent me from losing my sight and hearing, it’s something more. Of course, sight and hearing may not be that big a deal for non-Alphas The reference to 'non-Alphas' here was in no way aimed at Phil (or at anyone else on the list). I'm rereading Brave New World, that's all.
