I never said "my level." I said "Level 3." And I think we've had plenty
of rational discourse on this topic. I look forward to more. I've seen
many people make the jump from Level 2 to Level 3. I don't think I would
do anyone a favor by pretending it doesn't exist.

Seeing as how Virus of the Mind is required reading for all Virions,
that's clearly not my goal here. But I do want to spread the important
memes contained in the book, one of which is the value of conscious
living at Level 3.

I don't want credibility. If I wanted credibility I'd get a Ph.D. I want
people to grow and think, and my contributions to the list are intended
for that purpose.
