Fortune has nothing to do with it. Go back and read what I had written and
you'll find that the word "spirituality" is not mentioned at all. So, to bring
up that term and claim that I "don't seem to distinguish" a difference is
either dishonest or ignorant (or both).

Useless hypotheses, etc.:
 consciousness, phlogiston, philosophy, vitalism, mind, free will, qualia,
analog computing, cultural relativism, GAC, Cyc, Eliza, cryonics, individual
uniqueness, ego, human values, scientific relinquishment, malevolent AI,
non-sensory experience, SETI

We move into a better future in proportion as science displaces superstition.
