What should others think? What I think. No, what I should think.
What should I think? What others think. No, what others should think.
What should be thought? Good thoughts. No, the best thoughts.
What thoughts are best? The ones that make one happiest. No, the ones that make others happiest. But for other ones than I, I am an other. So, the ones that make all happiest.
How can the thought of one make all happy? By leading to actions that make all happy.
What thoughts lead to actions that make all happy? Persuasive thoughts.
What persuades? Hearing what one wants to hear, or, having heard, is glad to have not missed hearing.
The thoughts that persuade one to make all happy are the thoughts that make one happy.

Here was a schism.

I: Any thought that makes me happy makes me make you happy. I'm thinking about killing you, and you're welcome. (Some trust the I to never say this.)

Me: Any thought that makes me make you happy makes me happy. I will die to suit your whim, and be so gratified. (Some trust that this will not be asked of Me.)

Must every error then be made?
Made once and recorded.
But what of errors of recording?
Or of judging what things are errors?
For these reasons we keep records.
But what of errors of consultation?
Such as neglecting to consult?
Such as consulting the wrong record?
Such as failing to understand the right record?
You misunderstand what records we mean.
A record is just when you know you have made an error.

So no records can ever be shared?
Another sort can be.
Records not of what error was made.
Records of what it was like to make that error.
Let such recorders beware to not identify the error.
Until it has already been known as an error.

Can nothing be simply told?
Anything can, but those errors you spoke of.
Those errors you spoke of in records of errors.
Only these records eliminate those.
Only these give us more time.

Time for what?
To live as one lives beyond error.
And how is that done?
Either it's part of what we do now.
Or else it is something that no one has done yet.
