That's pretty condescending. Is that a good tool of persuasion for those
who've moved on to the next level? Seems to me that one could ponder the
nature of reality and consciousness for a lifetime and have nothing to show
for it: no breakthrough of understanding with practical applications. Do
you think you can unlock these mysteries just by pondering them?
