   Interestngly, this is tied in with the recent death of Daniel Dennett:   
      
   * Eight years earlier, Mr. Dennett's views on evolutionary biology and   
   * religion were the subject of 'Mind Out of Matter,' a 75-minute-long   
   * musical composition by Scott Johnson performed in a seven-part concert at   
   * a theater in Montclair, N.J. The composer used recordings from Mr.   
   * Dennett's lectures and interviews.   
      
   I assume it is the same guy.   
      
   --   
   He continues to assert that 2 plus 2 equals 4, despite being repeatedly   
   told otherwise.
