well it is nice to hear what you wish & enjoy len
yet being of value to the entire world wasnt immaterial to the author
who expressly wished & claimed it for his thesis
& it is perhaps the best idea in the paper
so i was following that part with the greatest interest
for it certainly feels good to imagine that anyone or anything could
be of value to the entire world
& indeed to wish that for oneself & ones action
so if anyone did understand better what the author meant in this
regard i would still like to rehear your idea of this thesis
which has frankly eluded me
thats all
whether it is immaterial for you or not
