From Max Frisch's "Man in the Holocene"
What is there to think about?
--EB : AE = AE: AB
--the Bible and the fresco of the Virgin Mary do not prove that God will continue to exist once human beings, who cannot accept the idea of a creation without a creator, have ceased to exist; the Bible was written by human beings.
--the Alps are the result of folding.
--ants live in colonies
--the arch was invented by the Romans.
--if the Arctic ice were to melt, New York would be under water, as would Europe, except for the Alps.
--many chestnut trees are cankered.
--only human beings can recognize catastrophes, provided they survive them; Nature recognizes no catastrophes.
--man emerged in the Holocene.
