ANNOTATION:
Hofstadter's Definition of "God"

Douglas Hofstadter in his epic "Godel, Escher, Bach" came up 
with a very serviceable definition of God.  God is the hierarchy 
of all the systems at a higher level than your own in the 
General System.  Now, pantheism isn't so far from that, in that 
 it includes all the ones below you as well, including yourself.  
Thus the statement "I am God" should not be looked on as 
blasphemous under this definition.  Maybe it also explains the 
people housed in mental institutions who are convinced that they 
are God.  They're right.  You know, fantastic insight into the 
mysteries of the Universe gets pretty heavy, and can very well 
drive some people insane.  Thus we might establish a good 
heuristic to go by:

Fantastic Insight = Insanity

So maybe we should cut a little slack to those we look down on 
as "mentally ill", whatever that means.
