BIOPHILIA (2005)
excerpt from biophilia
I’ll try to describe what it was like to land on Nagy.
You know those kids who walk into wardrobes into magical worlds? Or Alice falling down the rabbit hole? In college Kai and I would be smoking pot and talking shit and we always wondered about these escapist stories.
We used to have arguments. I said that if one just popped into another world or did some time travel or all that shit, one would not survive the shock of the experience.
“I mean, how do you know there is oxygen in that new world? Or that they speak English? Do they have bathrooms? I mean, think about it. If it happened to me, I would try to rationalize it and my mind would just explode.” I made a popping noise.
Kai would blow smoke rings and tell me that in his estimation, if one ever time traveled or got sucked into a black hole, that all would be fine. “Everything would fall into place and make sense naturally,” he would say, eyes streaming from the smoke and coughing. “Think about dreams. You have oxygen in dreams. People speak English. You don’t go to the bathroom. The human mind is immeasurable, infinite. You can embrace just about anything and get used to anything.”
