Yes, it is a truth- the vastest, most certain of truths, if one will- that our life is nothing, and our efforts the merest jest; our existence, that of our planet, only a miserable accident in the history of worlds; but it is no less a truth that, to us, our life and our planet are the most important, nay, the only important phenomena in the history of the worlds.
The Buried Temple by Maurice Maeterlinck
Humans continue to exhibit such grandiose hubris about their divine right and all that crap, yet one minor hiccup or fart from the universe and it’s …Oops. History. Oh well, that’s the way it goes.

It’s so hot here man.
Humans, at least most of us, behave like the universe cared that we are here when there is no evidence to support such a claim

Hey, what happened to your 2 posts in my email? Is the Trump WH censoring you?

Naw. I wasn’t happy with them so I deleted them. More to follow later. 🙂

No, that’s not what happened. What happened was this: the Trump admin launched a cyber attack on you, taking down your posts. You contacted WP about this and they have declined to say anything publicly. Secretly, though, a member of WP contacted you saying someone from the Trump admin has threatened them (WP) that if they do not behave the Trump admin will cause hell for them.

No, most often truth doesn’t sell.
If you must sell a book, make it as obscure as possible.
