Tittel: The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore (2011)
Forfatter: Benjamin Hale
Favoritt-utdrag:
"If you ever have children, tell them they must always be drunk. Drunk on love, drunk on poetry, drunk on wine, it doesn't matter. This world is too goddamn painful to waste a second of your existence sober."
"Religion says this world is not good enough for us—that there is more, or that there should be. What is religion but the philosophical hatred of the world?"
"We make meanings because meaninglessness terrifies us above all things. More than snakes, even. More than falling, or the dark. We trick ourselves into seeing meanings in things, when in fact all we are doing is grafting our meanings onto the universe to comfort ourselves. We gild the chaos of the universe with our symbols. To admit that something is meaningless is just like falling backward into darkness."
Tanker i ettertid:
ensom i din egen familie, delvis fordi du har glemt språket deres, og delvis - ikke fordi du ikke har noe å si-, men fordi du vet de ikke fatter. Evolusjon har en kostnad.
Anbefales:
Agnostikere liker den nok best, men religiøse bør lese den.
