I never said I was explaining humanity or our motivations or whatever. I think that's what some narrow-minded people might assume that I was trying to do with this site. If you have that interpritation, I'm sorry. I don't claim to be an "authority" on the subject. We can "explore" the human mind by interacting with other humans. By thinking and discussing, humans, the "social animals", can share ideas and connect and keep society going. Humanity gives rise to civilization. The human race is made up of countless individuals. The interaction of these individuals creates society. Society changes as we change. Things change. I don't think I need "authority" to discuss "human consciousness" or any other topic. By "human consciousness" I mean our self-awareness, that which makes us more than animal. So the people that might call me or other people interested in social philosophy (or perhaps philosophy in general) "pompous, pretentious, etcetera" are perhaps not thinking before they label. Or they purposefully want to antagonize me. Who knows?

Anthony, no matter what you write on your web page, I would never call you "etcetera." Sometimes you just have to draw a line, and know when not to cross it.
