> [@Musicat](#): > > Hmmm. What is the difference between high-grade and low-grade woo? There must be something we can go on; a test, maybe? You’re so judgmental, man. I’m serious. I was in a writing group where one woman had a book about how breathing deeply will solve all your problems. I restrained myself from saying bullshit (though I no doubt looked it) and said, in the spirit of being positive, that if she wanted her readers to follow her advice maybe should could say something about how her method is better than others. I could have just crapped on the floor, judging by the reaction. It seems that these books never, ever compare themselves to the other ten million woo books out there. I suppose this is not surprising because if they started comparing their woo to each others their readers might start comparing it to facts, and then the woo writers would be out on their asses in the street. Which is where they belong. Your quote is all about everyone being connected. Nothing hard to understand if you turn off 90% of your brain and all your critical judgment. Thanks for sharing it with us. You think you could add a laugh track when you present it? ---

It’s easy. I say “I am here, you are there.” You say “_I_ am here, _you_ are there.” Since we are both correct, then we must be both here and there. As long as you’re here, make me a sammich. ---

I didn’t get past the second use of “energy” before I started thinking about what I needed to get from the store later. ---
