Is it ridiculous to think that humans are the only living organisms that have the capacity to understand what their greater purpose is in life? Is this what it means when we say dolphins are smarter than us, and they might just be extraterrestrials waiting for evolution to gift them some thumbs so they can officially take over the aquatic world? Humans just don't understand water at all, do they? Wasn't there a NASA study in 1997, or somewhere thereabouts that concluded that all the water on the planet came to earth in the form of ice comets? Water is not of this planet at all. why doesn't anybody take that fact seriously?We are 70% water. Does this mean we're not of this planet either? I do not beleive in science, in the same way that I do not beleive in conventionally accepted religion; both become a means of explaining away the unexplainable so everybody feels cozy and comfortable and they'll smile a little and slip on their Hello Kitty slippers and maybe pad off to the kitchen to put the kettle on for some tea or hot cocoa, with big marshmallows, the flavored gourmet type, and a little dish of speculoos. And yet! Things are not things! An atom can be two places at once, and can we really comprehend what that means, what this supposes?! What events in the past are true if everything from the past has been displaced? hOw cAN yoU bE SuRE yOu'Re eVEn rEAdInG tHiS rIgHt NoW?!! Mathematics I can get behind. And olfactory activity. These are the things parades, mini cupcakes, and cucumber sandwiches are made of.
