Oh, sorry. I'm too used to talking to myself I think. Then I end up inflicting my mental shorthand on others when I'm not alone.
Aristotle saying people don't love inanimate objects made me think of the movie 'Castaway'. Hanks' character in that got so lonely on his island that he made a doll out of a soccer ball. Called it Wilson and had conversations with it, really seemed to rely on it to keep him sort of sane.
