The Coming of the Serpent
17th January 2015
Before Columbus everyone lived in happy villages buying each other a coke. After Columbus everyone wanted — but couldn’t get — a job in Los Angeles. Now the ruination will spread further afield. So far as we know never before has Pluto known hate, or for that matter love. But henceforth it may, at least in principle. Man, having lost paradise once, has found it again, in superabundance on the planets and is for the second time in sacred history poised to ruin everything.
Concretely history has already started on the moon. Lawyers are already arguing over who owns it. And when that happens you know that Paradise is over.
