“All men at a ball game are nobodies. At the speed of light, everybody is a nobody. There is a further dimension at the speed of light - everybody is discarnate, a nervous system without a body. Anger and frustration resulting from such sudden inexplicable situations and loss may well account for the extremities of violence and obscenities manifest in the new floods of pornography.”
