You can't describe non-existence in phenomenological or psychological terms because existence is required for experience (unless you believe in "souls"). The body will exist, but the neural activity that underlies experience

I actually like `tidy` better and honestly would rather have `cat a.csv | tidy ...`. But it's probably already a thing.

Interestingly enough there's also an occult-related book called The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly Hall (1928). That book is more or less an overview of esoteric beliefs in the West. Why was he fascinated in this stuff?

That's a great story! It definitely speaks to human beings' knack for finding edge cases. Do you know what year that was? I'm wondering if AI has advanced and patched those weaknesses.
