I try to imagine the entire universe. Yup, the whole thing, entirely.
Then I watch as tiny partitions of it interact to grow more
complex/stable/whatever. After 5 minutes of this, I am drooling on my
keyboard, and so begin typing.

perfect opportunity for a memetically-engineered paradigm shift. It's no
longer e-mail with letters on paper but metaphor X. Fill in the X, add
Church of Virus and/or memetics, and spam the universe.

"Oh, Evil Overlord, they've been broadcasting Married with Children for N
years. We stood by the wayside as the Outer Planets fell to chaos, but
soon the wavesphere will reach us. Curses to the hyper-advanced technology
which would let all of our citizen's recieve the transmissions! Let us
turn it upon them and mail bomb them with our Really Whammy Atomic Gravaton
Device."

tom.

[1] It can't last forever, but as long as I hide my posts with some some
mention of memetics, no big alarms will be set off.
