I think my time is up, debate-wise, here from the
only-artefacts-are-memes stance. Time to sit down and soak up much more
from the audience. I didn't have a predilection for either side, nor any
emotional attachment, nor any belief one way or the other. I am a
skeptic, and look for balance from all sides. I wasn't seeing much of a
balance for the Gatherer position, so I jumped up on that side of the
seesaw. I liked the view. (But, I liked the view from the memes in the
mind side, too, and, from the fulcrum in the middle, where things quantum
tunnel from one side to the other.)
Besides, in any debate, there's supposed to be a team.
All the world's a stage.
