  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".
