   I do not believe in the religion, belief system, or pseudoscience   
   known of as 'psychology'.   
      
   Psyche was the wife of Cupid in the Greco-Roman religion.   
      
   The word 'psyche' has also been translated as meaning 'soul'.   
      
   However the article of faith of the belief system known of   
   as 'psychology' is neither that souls exist and can be studied   
   nor the worship of the Greco-Roman personage.  Rather it is   
   that minds undergo a health or disease process similar to the   
   bodies of plants and animals.  In other words 'mental health'   
   and 'mental disease' are valid concepts.   
      
   Now it is a religion that generally caters to what is known   
   of as 'atheism'.  The word 'atheism' generally has word origins   
   not 'from god' but rather 'no god'.  However atheists generally   
   do not clearly specify the god they do not believe in.  They   
   also tend to be devoid of something called 'theology' in their   
   denials.   
      
   They also tend to try to monopolize their concept of 'rationality',   
   by claiming that 'sanity' is 'rational' and 'insanity' is 'not   
   rational'.  They however tossed out the idea that 'truth' and   
   'falseness' or good habits and bad habits are the basis for   
   'sanity' long ago.  They have the false belief that they did   
   not transition from science to religion when they did that.   
      
   As for 'children' or 'rationality' there are different degrees   
   of that.   
      
   Anyway I did not see the complete thread until now when I see   
   it in another usenet group.   
      
   As for this other guy, I am thinking that he is probably   
   seriously harmed by advocating the religion or pseudoscience   
   known of as 'psychology'.  I would say that a likely good   
   route away from this harm could be 'Christian Science', but   
   perhaps there could be others.  Some things people have to   
   do for themselves.   
      
   As for you, I think that in general time travel as you   
   have mentioned it (other than the progression that people   
   may experience if they are not moving at near light speeds)   
   is speculative.   
      
   I have not figured out how to set up 'killfiles'.  There   
   is of course all sorts of junk in many places.  Being able   
   to see some defecant in one's path may help you to avoid   
   stepping in it, however organic material may be a significant   
   percentage of the composition of 'soil' or 'dirt' anyway.   
   (Like derived from bird droppings or worm output over   
   the course of months or years.)

   There are an array of different science fiction stories.   
      
   I remember that 'In Search Of' with Leonard Nemoy in it   
   where he showed something like a fossil (jellyfish) that   
   looked like a cylindrical battery.  Nonetheless if that   
   were too easily or commonly done in the future at some   
   point, then the net result might be something like -   
   'yea everyone sees time travel events all the time ...   
   so what?  Why should I care since everybody sees them   
   every now and then anyway?'   
      
   Of course if the message gets garbled upon transit   
   (information sent versus received (Information   
   Theory definitions of entropy)) then the net result   
   can be the equal of - no message sent.
