I love the title you give for 'Matter, Form, and Privation.' I read this post a while ago (as well as the story) and it interestd me, but in no spectacular way, until I started uni. I do a behavioural science course and when flicking through my text book I read the Milgram Experiments (as well as the bystnader something or another, the story about Kitty Genovese? Reeeeeealy interesting) ut the story somehow stayed in my mind and when going over your site to find it, as well as new and interesting posts I reread the title and it made me laugh, and I laugh really physically (a bit like a jack on the box, where I do it silently becasue I cant get breath into my lungs). My room mate is now looking at me strangely, thanks for the laugh, and the connection to Stargate Atlantis everytime I open my psych book, it will doubtless make learning interesting!
