Dan-

For our part - do not take in any way what we are doing and saying as a
reflection on what you write.  It isn't.  Keep at it, whether we agree
or not with all of it.  Just your timing happened not to be the best -
since the massacre is still ongoing.  

...we will do some cut-up and pick-up, but like this, by little
deviations-

"I want to speak of Nietzsche and of Darwin because they were men of
thought.  Darwin believed that men descended from monkeys.  He thought
he had discovered a new theory.  I asked my wife this morning about
Darwin and Nietzsche, as I was sorry for Nietzsche.  I like him.  He
would have understood me.  Darwin's theory of Nature is false. He did
not feel Nature.  Nature is life and life is Nature. I love it, and know
what it is.  I understand it because I feel it and Nature feels me. 
Nature is God and I am Nature.  I am alive."

Nijinsky refuted with joy and simplicity - no need to be a scientist.
