Robert Bly had some things right; namely individuals need an event to mark points of transition in our lives and this event is in part traditional. Of course, Iron John didn't work for me, in large part because the proof of his argument was in poetry he had written previously.

Now comes Ken Mogi with the above article on Qualia. I hadn't read more than the merest tidbit and I had flashbacks from Iron John. Truly I did. And all of this as an introduction to Sony's newest line of very high priced goods.
