Nor was there any further talk of the fact that, against all odds, a sperm whale had suddenly materialized many miles above the surface of a strange planet. And as this is not the natural environment of whales in general, the poor and innocent creature had little time to realize its identity “as” a sperm whale, as it soon had to realize its identity “as” a dead sperm whale. . There follows a complete record of the entire mental life of this creature, from the moment it came into existence until the moment it ceased to exist. – Oh…! What is happening? thought the sperm whale. – Ah, sorry, but who am I? -Hey! – Why am I here? What is my reason for being? – What does it mean to ask who am I? Calm down, calm down, let’s see…ah! What an interesting sensation, what is it? It's like... yawning, a tickle in my... my... well, I better start naming things so I can make some progress in what, for the purposes of what I'm going to call discussion, I'm going to call the world. So let's say this is my belly Good. Ah, it's getting really strong. And what is this noise going through what I decided to call my head? Maybe a good name would be… wind! Is it really a good name? Whatever… maybe I'll come up with a better name later, when I figure out what it's for. It must be a very important thing, because there is a lot of it in the world. Whoops! What the hell is that? Yeah... let's call this thing a tail. That's it, ass. Whoa, I can move it a lot! Yay! Yay! How cheap! It doesn't seem to be useful for much, but one day I'll discover what it's for. Well, do I already have a coherent view of things? No. It doesn't hurt. This is so interesting, so much to discover, so much good to come, I'm dizzy with anticipation... Or is it the wind? Wow, it really is windy here, isn't it? And gosh! What is this thing approaching me so fast? So quickly. So big and flat and round, so... so... It deserves a very strong name, a name so... so... earthy! And that! Here's a good name: floor! Will I be friends with him? And the rest – after a sudden, wet thump – is silence. Interestingly, the only thing that crossed the mind of the pot of petunias as it fell was: Oh, no, again! Many people have pondered this fact and concluded that if we knew exactly why the pot of petunias thought that, we would know much more about the nature of the Universe than we do today." #nerd
