Gould, like Richard Dawkins, argued for a purely Darwinian view of nature--even if the two of them couldn't agree on the precise details of what that view was. but if religion had helped Gould get through his illness, he never said. Still, after his recovery, he'd written a new book, Rocks of Ages: Science and Religion in the Fullness of Life, which argued for the scientific and the spiritual being two separate realms, two 'nonoverlapping magisteria'--a typical bit of Gouldish bafflegab. Clearly, though, larger questions had preoccupied him during his bout with the big C. Now it was my turn. Sagan had apparently remained stalwart until the end. Gould seemed perhaps to have wavered, but he'd ultimately returned to his old self, the perfect rationalist. " |

'Ah,' said Mr. Bigelow. He and Lovecraft and Hawthorne and Ambrose Pierce and all the tales of terror and fantasy and horror and, for that matter, tales of the future were burned. Heartlessly. They passed a law. Oh, it started very small. In 1950 and '60 it was a grain of sand. They started by controlling books of cartoons and then detective books and, of course, films, one way or another, one group or another, political bias, religious prejudice, union pressures; there was always a minority afraid of something, and a great majority afraid of the dark, afraid of the future, afraid of the past, afraid of the present, afraid of themselves and shadows of themselves.'

By committing suicide--he wasn't afraid to think the word--he could prove that his future wasn't predestines; after all, in not just his own vision, but in that of the restaurant manager, he was alive twenty years hence. So, if he killed himself today--if he swallowed the pills right now--he'd demonstrate conclusively that the future wasn't fixed. But it would be like Pyrrhus's defeats of the Romans at Heraclea and Asculum, the kind of victory that still bears his name, a victory at a horrible cost. For if he could commit suicide, then the future that had so depressed him was not inevitable--but, of course, he'd no longer be around to pursue his dream. " |
