Huh, JUST personal opinion? Nothing in the universe is as important as
my opinion. Absolutely nothing.

And what you are saying is that objective is equivalent to important and
subjective is equivalent to trivial; it seems to me that readers of this
list with all the talk about uploading should understand the exact

objective existence, do you expect CERN to find a good particle and a
evil particle in one of their detectors?
