Thanks for noticing, it made me smile that someone noticed. My passport says I’m Belgian, but my first language is Dutch and if anything, my nationality is Flemish (Flanders). So it can get confusing at the best of times and hence I didn’t mind, I was just so happy that Richard cared enough to share and even donate. I’m a happy bunny. 🙂

“Groovy” and “far-out” have never been out of circulation. But “bitchen” I have never heard. Perhaps used outside of New York.

I am a man of many generations. Even those in which I didn’t live. I assimilate them all. I am a freak.

This is great! Contributed and looking forward to the documentary.

No disrespect Richard, but you don’t seem old enough to be using the word “groovy”. What personality from the 70’s would you be channeling? Or are words/phrases like “groovy”, “far out” and “bitchen” making a come-back?

Oh that’s wild. I read that several times to proof it and every time I saw “an” where there was “and.”

Good example of what Dennett was talking about in Consciousness Explained: our brain fills in what we see with what it thinks is there, not necessarily with what our eyes are telling it is there.

Fixed!

Couple of things, Sylvia is Belgian and a typo, Hug and Atheist should be ‘an’.
