The Clockwork Universe

The way we describe our universe is often
idiotically related to the way we see ourselves. This is even
moreso when we manage to operationalise such desriptions. When the clock mysteriously
managed to keep time with the universe, people decided that we too
must be much like clocks, just as the universe must have been.

Thus, today, many idiots see humans
as computers with bodies attached to them.
There is a certain terrorism in this kind of thinking, the kind
that eventually led to Auschwitz. The thinking continues,
but the consequences are becoming more muted. Or perhaps
we are becoming inured to the effect, like
it was just another expression of
irrationality that could
never happen here.
