I actually don't think that's the core of it. I think people need better stories and ALSO those stories need to contain better answers reached through coldly precise rational evaluations. Feelings are an input, and an output, to be controlled and tweaked.

Define what the reciprocity would look like?

Explicitly, do you think it's possible that they might be able to go places you can't; and that there's a symmetrical capacity that they possess exclusively?

Oh, sure. I've known that since I was 11 and didn't get any of the trembling of the divine. I believe my model of the world is better, though.

I think maybe we're talking about different dichotomies here? Which did you have in mind?

Let us take this either off line or diagram it--you're at my apartment next week, we can do both. I think complicated, branching discussion, served better with italian hands.
