But I wonder how you'll feel when you realize that the world is a little richer, a little more complex than you currently think it is.

Enlighten me and I'll discover if I feel differently.

To do so would be inconsistent with my own self interest. Consider a rule of general systems theory: the element of any system with the most options at its disposal, i.e. with the richest repertoire of responses, will dominate that system.

Ergo, binary, toggle-switch thinkers like yourself--good/evil, darkness/light, socialist/capitalist--are a positive asset for those of us who see the world more neutrally, in finer shades and subtle grades of gray. You can never be too thin, too rich, or have too many sheep wandering about in case you ever get hungry or you simply enjoy provoking sheep.

You just stay exactly the way you are, at precisely your level of development.

But I digress.
