Recently, I have been convinced of a harsh reality of life. I had always 
suspected that people in general  don't like to think. After 3 years in 
the Video rental business, I am absolutely convinced of it! Everyday I 
see what the "averages" are choosing for entertainment and it is not 
pretty folks. It would seem that education and entertainment  cannot 
occupy the same space. As soon as these folks think they are being 
educated, it's all over.  Maybe it is a consequence of public schooling 
I don't know, but to tie this to looping, a new experience is almost 
always a learning one and in addition I tend to see loops as a thought, 
even ones that seem spontaneous at the time frequently tie into a idea 
lingering in the head. Looping, for most people, is a new experience. 
Which, at least for awhile yet, seals its fate. Besides, I have grown to 
be suspicous of anything that attains Godlike status in the popular 
culture. I find that most of these things seem to be about selling you 
something anyway. I could go on but I will spare you all my neurosis.
