How do you know that it might, instead of being stored in the "brain" (that
amorpous clump of mush that couldn't possibly "store" memories), not be
beamed to you morphically? Perhaps your amorpous clump of mush acts as an
antenna and is tuned to the right frequency, the species frequency?
Has the hook set well? Can I start reeling it in? Either I'm trolling Ted
the Sheldrakian or Grant who might be too new to know Ted's source of
inspiration.
