Prophet of the Unexplained
Charles Fort asked:
What is a straight line? –
the shortest distance between two points
- and what is that? –
a straight line, of course
Charles Fort magnanimously concluded
the definition of a straight line
as a straight line
could never be
improved upon.
Darwinism
Charles Fort said the fittest -
not the strongest of the cleverest –
survive – everywhere
stupidity and weakness thrive
If fitness is determined by the fact
of the survival of the thing
then fitness equals survival –
and Darwinism becomes the
survival of survivors!
From Euclid to Newton
Charles Fort asked: How do geologists
determine the age of rocks? –
by the fossils contained therein
and those of fossils?
by the age of the rocks
the fossils are found in
Charles Fort wisely concluded that
having started with
the logic of Euclid
he went on to the
wisdom of Newton!
