Could you clarify?  I took the first sentence to mean it is good to 'base
existence' on "thought."   The second sentence indicates that believe and
action on "thought about a thought" is a problem.

Do you believe... (hmm)... think... (hmm)... logically deduce (?) that
someone like Hegel <http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/hegel/>
(&wikipedia<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Wilhelm_Friedrich_Hegel>)
should be considered an extropian of the first case, or a trouble-maker of
the second case?
