Though our natural of being would admire the reach of Seneca to say,
the Holodeck programing IS optional and we have not yet heard WHO
the WHO is that would explore and respond to the "VCR tape". I think
Seneca's fine words are more emotially satisfying than of working
value. Be that as it may, I would defer to your judgement of his
words into useful human reality. However the skeptic, I can GRASP that
there are those of vision who may see more than I. Though I would
mostly scrape at the hide of "good thinking", I am only a part time
enemey of its basis. The historical record of justice and rightness
of being does NOT seem better or worse among those having access to
religion, OR philosophy (perhaps even a suggestion of it's being
more the worse for those that do?). I know there is some complexity
and contentions in translating right ideas to and through human media
and into the expression of everyday life being. History (stoics
included) has not presented a coherent "TRUST PACKAGE" to guide
"right thinking".
