Mike,
i think you truly understand me. how you came to realize that nconsistency is no hobgoblin for me is a mystery to me, but you are certainly correct.

well any way, perhaps my idea is not so incoherent after all.
you stated my idea in your own words quite coherently.
as quoted below:

the only reservation i have with respect to your understanding of my idea is your use of the word must. i believe we have free will so i'd rather think that it is up to us to decide.

are you familiar with a little country called Switzerland? it is the land of my ancestry. they are kind of famous for being a neutral country. you know they don't take sides. can you think of any nations that sided with Switzerland during wwwII ? i can't.

regards, tim
