Mia: regarding programming the video game to make you win:
   Remember: The theology came from a six year old kid today. He
   HAS to win every game. he's 6. he'll cheat to win. He's 6. So a
   deterministic universe (the devil made me do it) works perfectly
   fine in his mind. It's not what *I* believe- but I was simply
   impressed at the depth of thought by this kid. His theology
   changes week to week - if the strings idea works for him, then
   that's fine. It's a cool concept, really. It's like saying,
   "Well, my brain scan reveals I have a swiss cheese brain due to
   a virus I suffered when I was 2. Therefore, I have no conscience
   and I'm not responsible because it's biological in nature." "
