33. Conversations like this remind me of Yul Brenner in The King and I
when he decrees that snow doesn't exist because he's never seen or heard of it.
people know what they know, and don't know what they don't know. they imagine the world is really as limited as they are capable of experiencing it and too bad for them. they'll never know what a marvelous playground 'reality' actually is.
but i'm glad for this attitude really, because these same people who say they're nothing more than a 'bag of bones' and 'wormfood' and believe themselves to be 'realists' and 'scientific' are the same sorts of people who would have burned people like me at the stake a few short generations back.
