I didn't suggest you were arrogant for disliking the story - that's your perogative. Rather, I suggested you were arrogant for proclaiming that anyone who might not agree with your position must be mentally deficient. This is where the mention of my dabbling in philosophy came in; I quite liked the story, and yet am almost-certainly using both hemispheres.

I have no idea if it's been done before, but I quite liked the concept of there not being any humanity, as such - or rather, all of humanity as one being, and that being happens to be the offspring of some undefined higher power who invented the entire universe simply to train his kid. I'm not suggesting there's any previously-unrevealed truth here, any deeper meaning, but I did quite enjoy it for what it was.
