moonduck - OK, not demanding
and I see your point about everything getting silly - but I think that's philosophy for you!
The only bit I have a problem with is the
"An infinite universe is pretty much guaranteed to have a society what has taught itself the mighty powers of the mind. You now have that knowledge. You teach yourself TK and never have to get up to grab a PBR again." - I don't like the assumption that just because you
know how other people are able to do amazing stuff means that you should be able to yourself.
I mean, I'm quite aware of the processes by which a woman goes through the delightful process of giving birth - but I don't think (even if I knew a lot more) I could actually do so! I could modify myself, you say - but you've added in an extra stipulation. It's not
simply the knowledge which would allow me to do something like that, but knowledge plus something else. And that's where I have a problem with your BIAV. Personally, I reckon it's going to remain bored and sober
