I love true SF because it allows us to reach into ideas that in any other realm would be supressed or labeled heretical. As long as we have consciousness for whatever it is worth, why the hell not explore it! Peter sounds very interesting.kalanizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150135574300316350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447544468792389936.post-26059818452006853902012-01-16T09:20:14.880-08:002012-01-16T09:20:14.880-08:00Brilliant, Steve!

Peter is quite interesting as both a writer and a thrower outer of ideas.<br />It occurs to me that the usual topics of this blog sort of correspond to the "how would conscious entities do against non-conscious invaders?" question in a way.
