Nevertheless, I will make it. His problem is likely that he is so incredibly self-centered he doesn't find other people as interesting or intelligent as himself. I'm sure he will deny this, but it is nevertheless the case. Though the meat thing is an interesting theory, it is false, because it is not my theory. This proves that Slater is clearly wrong when he claims his opinions to be the only ones that matter. My theory is that Eamon is obsessed with his own perceived greatness and thus with the fact of his individuation; he does not yet realize that we are all each one variations on a theme that generates and encompasses us, and that when we draw in on ourselves we only sit shivering in an empty shack, glorying like hogs in our mean consistencies, while true being and meaning pass us by without. TCP knows about this because she likes Zen, though I don't know anything about Zen. I could keep going, but I won't.
