Researcher: "I've been analyzing the data, and you don't have a spleen!"

Me: "You're joking! I don't have a spleen? That's hard to believe."

Researcher: "I'm trying to get my mind around it. Because normally, the body doesn't function without a spleen. Just about everyone has one. But you don't."

Me: "I mean, I guess I somehow don't have a use for one. Somehow. What are they used for, anyway?"

Researcher: "Exactly. You don't even comprehend how to use one! They're used for filtering out certain kinds of chemicals, especially during digestion. Like poisonous chemicals."

Me: "I guess that could be really bad, then! I guess I need a spleen!"

Researcher: "But evidently you don't."

Me: "I mean, I drink a lot of fluids a lot of the time. Maybe that has something to do with it!"

Researcher: "That gives me a big clue. Thank you! You probably filter out a lot of the chemicals automatically, like in the small intestine.

Me: "Cool!"

Researcher: "And, my guess is, you have a dirty bloodstream."

I tried to raise my fist at him.

Researcher: "Don't get angry. It's very interesting! Very cool! Your body is naturally adapted to have a dirty bloodstream! That's the only explanation! Dirty bloodstreams must come in degrees, becasue otherwise you wouldn't survive!"

SUMMARY UNDERSTANDING OF LEIBNIZ'S MONADOLOGY

Logic (which Leibniz calls reasonable things, but which I call systems), is infallible so far
as it truly demonstrates logic. Facts, on the other hand, are irreducible only becuase there
is an infinite conitngency extending from it to other facts. Where logic is contingent, it
is not perfect. Where facts relate to logic, they are provable, but only because their parts
may be understood to be reducible. In a sense, because their parts are infinite.

If everything is perfect, then if there is an experience of everything, it may be called
God and it exists.

There is relatively little difference between God and the imitations of God, because so far
as lesser things go, greater things are the closest thing to becoming God. In this way, lesser
things can be greater things by providing a path for the simpler constitutions.

Beings act in pleasure-modules, so that the imperfect identity is a realization about the
ultimate purpose of the module, seen as it were, objectively. Thus, in terms of causes,
there is nothing undesirable that does not serve some efficient purpose.

Besides this,

He places limitations and appears to assume that power is only one thing.
