[1] Ponder Einstein statement
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) Source: Mathematical Circles

REVIEW RECURRING TOPIC:
recall Melanie Joy on INVISBLE IDEOLOGY:
1993 J. Hargreaves in E. G. Dunning et al. Sports Process 71 The Victorian cult of the family..was a unifying feature of nineteenth-century bourgeois ideology and acted as a dominant constraining force on the early development of women's sport.
2004 Times Lit. Suppl. 8 Oct. 25/1 In geostrategic terms, Communism and liberal democracy may have been mortal enemies, but from an intellectual standpoint the Cold War was a family quarrel among Western ideologies.
INVISIBLE IDEOLOGY what DFW called the "water" ("what water"?): Invisible belief system: a given, or simply assumed, unquestioned, taken-for-granted worldview, weltanshaung, system of ideas or beliefs governing conduct
recall DFW's commencement speech:
one "truth you shall know" is that you are not just your default settings, you can break free of them: you have choices, such as your daily ethical choices about food, clothing, entertainment, etc.; because you have choices you are FREE of your default settings, FREE to create your new, more authentic, consistent, ethical self.................
