Everything Dies

(5)

But is the Bush period really an aberation which lies outside the realm of evolution? Obviously not. Evolution is, '...the way it goes, but sometimes it goes the other way too' (True Romance).

As I reread this it strikes me that this is not too different from a 'dream sequence.' Of course it is a form of 'streaming consciousness' but far more coherent than a dream. In fact, I would call this almost a book review, a book review of a fictional book, somewhat like Stanislaw Lem's short story, Non Serviam.

But to continue logically: Suppose Mankind's successes in the evolutionary realm eventually result in a planet-wide catastrophe: will that result negate some or other Principle of Nature? Not at all. Everything dies.
