Gerry, Thanks for including me in your mailing but I'm already a member of Global Brain (and a Lucifer fan as well). I certainly wish you well in trying to...
Dear Gerry, Like Teresa Beacon, I also have received a message to join Global Brain although I'm also a member. I don't particularly mind being reinvited...
Dear Teresa and Sal, I did post an invitation to all of the friends of Lucifer that Howard sent to me but the list must have been fairly old. I've had ...
Gerry: Howard Bloom will be in my chat room at 9:00pm EST tonight. All of your members are welcome to attend. Feel free to send out a copy of this email, but...
Perhaps next time Howard 'speaks', we can have a bit more notice - say at least 10 minutes! Dennis On Thu, 6 Mar 2003 19:16:11 -0500 "Chris O'Connor" ...
Dennis, I reviewed the files and discovered that Gerry asked Chris to provide the group with at least a few days notice. I missed the announcement totally and...
Howard Bloom will be a BookTalk guest in the future and I'll be sure to send a message out to all of you in advance. Here is why I didn't put much effort into...
Chris, Rather than fool around with a third time, why doesn't Howard speak in the Global Brain chatroom? I'm fairly certain that Gerry could activiate the...
Hi Carroll, I liked your idea so much that I activated the Chat link. I'm really not certain whether or not it works that well. Perhaps a few group members...
Welcome to the group Michael. How about this: All of our knowledge and experience tells us that the individual is only meaningful with respect to the species,...
To all Global Brainers, I posed this question to the author of GB: Selfishness and altruism are not good or bad in and of themselves. It all depends on the...
Hello Michael, ... Incentives such as what? An economy that's perking right along? Folks driving huge SUV's that guzzle Arab oil while the Arabs themselves...
... perking right along? Folks driving huge SUV's that guzzle Arab oil while the Arabs themselves ride on camels (except for the sons of kings who drive fast...
Hi Michael, ... Thank you. Neither would I call supporting such an economy beneficial to the group. Just trying a bit of jest....my attempt at being...
I agree with Howard's answer. Whether morality is "absolute" or not, the fact is I'd much rather live in a culture where no one religious cult has all the ...
Plurality is what our democratic ideals have been founded on. In fact isn't this what we're fighting for in our conflict with Saddam and Iraq? Don't we...
Dear Global Brainers, Just wanted to inform you that Robert Jones has added a new link to our vault. You might like to check it out (it's in the Link...
Ah Homo sapiens - self-conscious (animal) species that over the past 8,000 years has "invented" complex culture (memes to complement genes) but has yet to...
Gerry: I think the first thing to test would be that this chat room actually works. We would want to test a few things before inviting Howard Bloom. 1. Does...
Chris, Your link to Howard's chat with your group was very enlightening. Sounded as though your entire group had a desirable moment. He's fun, no doubt about...

Yes - and individually we have become "the group", schizophrenic paranoids bouncing between the poles of the paradox in our own minds. Dennis On Sun, 9 Mar...
Hi Michael, ... Yet, your logic is one-sided....you are taking the position of a selfish person who only cares about his immediate family (those driving in his...
A ping-pong mind is the worst kind. One needs to place both poles on the table before us, weigh the options available and then select. Dunno if we're only...
Gerry, ... First Intellectual War of the new millennium.<<< Hip, Hip, Hooray for the war! Sounds like you're cheering the war on. Don't let the wives,...
Dear Global Brainers, I came across this post from another list (Mind and Brain) and thought it might be of interest to some of you. Gerry Compromise is name...
