Asimov obviously never had to deal with the checkout clerks at my local 7-11.

Iacchus said:Yes, but when you get to thinking about it, we're all just "grubs" grubbing around in the dark now aren't we? As we set up our meager little grubstakes, hoping that it'll last ...
Actually the whole thing sounds kind of pathetic if you ask me.![]()
What, am I the only one capable of transformation? See what I mean by pathetic? Of course maybe that's the wrong choice of words, since most grubs simply don't know.c4ts said:
We're not all grubs, just you. Some states of ignorance are self imposed, just as the fool who steers his ship in a circle will wonder how he ever got lost.

I kind of like the grub analogy better myself. You know, What do grubs know? ... Who spend their day munching off the Tree of Knowledge, and yet don't know the first thing about being a butterfly. However they continue to fill themselves up, this big sack of knowledge that they are, in the hopes that their grubstake will last. Oh well, sooner or later they'll be laid to rest in their little coffins, only to find out -- if, they're lucky enough -- that death is just a beginning!

No I'm just speaking about insects and human beings here. And for the most part it isn't understood or assumed here either, as near as I can tell.RussDill said:
Does that mean every creature should start assuming with no evidence that they also undergo a physical transformation?
