Here is a podcast of it:

The problem is so important because it lies underneath, and is a major cause of, our inability to agree with one another, and even our expectation that we can never do so, such that we just have to be satisfied with tribal warfare at all levels of social structure, with its terrible PSDED. My treatment of the problem does not involve metaphoric images or reliance upon obscure scientific explanatory worldviews beyond the comprehension of most of us. It should be understandable by the junior high student.
You are in California. I have the dream that people like yourself will start up Meetup.com organizations and register them in the Humanian Belief Manual. Mine is Charlotte Humanianity. I hope you get a chance to really explore this tool.
I have the hyperdream that Humanianity will at some point become viral, though I may be dead by then and don't expect to be able to look down and rejoice while watching it. At least I can have hyperdreams.
