You know, your receding hairline could be quite advantageous for
exploring this particular topic ... 
the key question, of course, remains 
how not to let whatever we allow to leak out of our mind 
fall into the wrong hands. 
There's also the practical matter that the price for access 
to the kind of tools 
that you really need to get this kind of stuff done
is usually that you need to be 
more concerned to help the gatekeepers to these tools 
inflate their own importance 
than to get useful stuff done.

It's been a while since I watched "Firefox" on TV 
and played Microprose Gunship, 
but it's still enough of a warning what to even think of.
