Ordinarily it is quite proper on mail lists to ignore typographical errors, merely correcting them silently in our heads as we read the post. But perhaps in writing on topics (usually philosophical or neurological topics) in which fine distinctions make a real difference, writers should print out and proofread their posts several times before sending them. I _think_ I am following Jerry's post, and I find it interesting. But my grasp is tenuous enough that I will not trust my own guess as to the intended text represented here by "concept that their our separate 'selves'." "That there are separate 'selves'"? Or is "_our_ separate 'selves'" correct, and something is missing to give that phrase content?
