Dear Platt,
BTW: Induction is *not* confined to temporal
induction. It is the folly of turning "many event As
are associated with event Bs" into "A causes B" (or
something).
Thoughts are vibrations, resonances which come and go.
Like sound. You keep on mentioning mind, as though it
exist. Many people do.
André
