Were all humanity taken and crowded together in one place, it would
occupy three hundred billion liters, or less than a third of a cubic
kilometer.  It sounds like a lot.  Yet the world's oceans hold 1,285
million cubic kilometers of water, so if all humanity  -  the five
billion bodies  -  were cast into the ocean, the water would rise less
than a hundredth of a millimeter.  A single splash, and Earth would be
forever unpopulated.
  - Stanislaw Lem

gendo: a way of thinking...  
    language as a path to liberation...

.unconscious, erroneous assumptions imposed upon our thinking
    by the structure of the language (english) running in our
    skulls are responsible for most of what is wrong with the
    world in both the personal and planetary domains

when:  wednesday and saturday afternoons, between 3 and 5
where: the cafe at Borders Books (91 at Bloomfield in Cerritos)

.look for the black and red gendo logo on my dark blue notebook

My favourite one of these is that the entire human race, living and
dead, would fit below the surface of Loch Ness.

I reread "Stand on Zanzibar"  on holiday, worrying in case I was no
longer impressed.  But it hasn't really dated.
