How do worms know where they’re going?
———- from George Papadelis ofAnn Arbor, Michigan
They don’t. Worms ? along with most scientists and high-ranking government officials ? operate mainly on blind faith. In addition to being a defunct rock band, Blind Faith is the modus vivendi and operandi for most date poor gestalts or, as we say in America, “guesstimates.” You could come up with a good argument that our entire civilization is modeled after the worm. We bore ahead, blindly, always consuming and always leaving a trail of waste behind us. Those who follow us down the dark tube we call life are forced to crawl in our filth. Yes, you could argue this, although who you’d argue it with is anyone’s guess. Worms prefer silence, anyway.
