I just read this entire thread up to here and I think it triggered a new (to me) idea.
We usually portray to children that predators are bad, such as wolves killing baby lambs, etc., but nowadays we know that predators play a very important role of maintaining and improving the gene pool of their prey by eliminating the weaklings.
Similarly, servers to selves play the role of nudging those in 3D who would achieve harvest more quickly if they chose STS to give that a try. Ra has always said that either path is okay because serving the self and serving other selves are the same thing, but our tendency is to judge STS as horribly wrong. I think I can accept those servers to self a little easier now.
