the book of the Damned by Charles Fort the book of the Damned by Charles Fort chapter chapter chapter 18 the new 18 the new 18 the new dominant I mean primarily all that dominant I mean primarily all that dominant I mean primarily all that opposes exclusionism opposes exclusionism opposes exclusionism that development or progress or that development or progress or that development or progress or evolution is attempt to positiv eyesee evolution is attempt to positiv eyesee evolution is attempt to positiv eyesee and is a mechanism by which a positive and is a mechanism by which a positive and is a mechanism by which a positive existence is recruited that what we call existence is recruited that what we call existence is recruited that what we call existence is a womb of infinitude existence is a womb of infinitude existence is a womb of infinitude and is itself only and is itself only and is itself only incubatory that eventually all attempts incubatory that eventually all attempts incubatory that eventually all attempts are broken down by the falsely are broken down by the falsely are broken down by the falsely excluded subjectively the breaking down excluded subjectively the breaking down excluded subjectively the breaking down is aided by our own sense of false and is aided by our own sense of false and is aided by our own sense of false and narrow narrow narrow limitations so the classic and academic limitations so the classic and academic limitations so the classic and academic artists wrought positivist paintings and artists wrought positivist paintings and artists wrought positivist paintings and expressed the only ideal that I am expressed the only ideal that I am expressed the only ideal that I am conscious of though we so often hear of conscious of though we so often hear of conscious of though we so often hear of ideals instead of different manifest ideals instead of different manifest ideals instead of different manifest ation artistically ation artistically ation artistically scientifically theologically politically scientifically theologically politically scientifically theologically politically of the one of the one of the one ideal they sought to satisfy in its ideal they sought to satisfy in its ideal they sought to satisfy in its artistic aspect Cosmic craving for Unity artistic aspect Cosmic craving for Unity artistic aspect Cosmic craving for Unity or or or completeness sometimes called Harmony completeness sometimes called Harmony completeness sometimes called Harmony called Beauty in some called Beauty in some called Beauty in some aspects by disregard they sought aspects by disregard they sought aspects by disregard they sought completeness but the light effects that completeness but the light effects that completeness but the light effects that they disregarded and their narrow they disregarded and their narrow they disregarded and their narrow confinement to stand standardized confinement to stand standardized confinement to stand standardized subjects brought on the Revolt of the subjects brought on the Revolt of the subjects brought on the Revolt of the Impressionists so the Puritans tried to

Impressionists so the Puritans tried to Impressionists so the Puritans tried to systematize and they disregarded systematize and they disregarded systematize and they disregarded physical needs or vices or physical needs or vices or physical needs or vices or relaxations they were invaded and relaxations they were invaded and relaxations they were invaded and overthrown when their narrowness became overthrown when their narrowness became overthrown when their narrowness became obvious and obvious and obvious and intolerable all things strive for intolerable all things strive for intolerable all things strive for positiveness for themselves or for quasi positiveness for themselves or for quasi positiveness for themselves or for quasi systems of which they are Parts systems of which they are Parts systems of which they are Parts formality in the mathematic the regular formality in the mathematic the regular formality in the mathematic the regular and the uniform are aspects of the and the uniform are aspects of the and the uniform are aspects of the positive state but the positive is the positive state but the positive is the positive state but the positive is the universal so all attempted positiveness universal so all attempted positiveness universal so all attempted positiveness that seems to satisfy in the aspects of that seems to satisfy in the aspects of that seems to satisfy in the aspects of formality and regularity sooner or later formality and regularity sooner or later formality and regularity sooner or later disqualifies in the aspect of widness or disqualifies in the aspect of widness or disqualifies in the aspect of widness or universalness so there is revolt against universalness so there is revolt against universalness so there is revolt against the science of today because the the science of today because the the science of today because the formulated utterances that were regarded formulated utterances that were regarded formulated utterances that were regarded as final truths in a past generation are as final truths in a past generation are as final truths in a past generation are now seen to be now seen to be now seen to be insufficiencies every pronouncement that insufficiencies every pronouncement that insufficiencies every pronouncement that has opposed our own acceptances has been has opposed our own acceptances has been has opposed our own acceptances has been found to be a composition like any found to be a composition like any found to be a composition like any academic painting something that is academic painting something that is academic painting something that is arbitrarily cut off from relations with arbitrarily cut off from relations with arbitrarily cut off from relations with environment or framed off from environment or framed off from environment or framed off from interfering and disturbing data or interfering and disturbing data or interfering and disturbing data or outlined with outlined with outlined with disregards our own attempt has been to disregards our own attempt has been to disregards our own attempt has been to take in the included but also to take in take in the included but also to take in take in the included but also to take in the excluded into wider the excluded into wider the excluded into wider Expressions we we accept however that Expressions we we accept however that Expressions we we accept however that for every one of our Expressions there for every one of our Expressions there for every one of our Expressions there are irreconcilable somewhere that final are irreconcilable somewhere that final are irreconcilable somewhere that final utterance would include all

utterance would include all utterance would include all things however of such is a gossip of things however of such is a gossip of things however of such is a gossip of Angels the final is unutterable in quasi Angels the final is unutterable in quasi Angels the final is unutterable in quasi existence where to think is to include existence where to think is to include existence where to think is to include but also to exclude or be not final if but also to exclude or be not final if but also to exclude or be not final if we admit that for every opinion we have we admit that for every opinion we have we admit that for every opinion we have expressed there must somewhere be an expressed there must somewhere be an expressed there must somewhere be an irreconcilable we are intermedia ists irreconcilable we are intermedia ists irreconcilable we are intermedia ists and not positivists not even higher and not positivists not even higher and not positivists not even higher positivists of course it may be that positivists of course it may be that positivists of course it may be that someday we shall systematize and someday we shall systematize and someday we shall systematize and dogmatize and refuse to think of dogmatize and refuse to think of dogmatize and refuse to think of anything that we may be accused of anything that we may be accused of anything that we may be accused of disregarding and believe instead of disregarding and believe instead of disregarding and believe instead of merely accepting then if we could have a merely accepting then if we could have a merely accepting then if we could have a wider system which would acknowledge no wider system which would acknowledge no wider system which would acknowledge no irreconcilables we'd be higher irreconcilables we'd be higher irreconcilables we'd be higher positivists so long as we only accept we positivists so long as we only accept we positivists so long as we only accept we are not higher positivists but our are not higher positivists but our are not higher positivists but our feeling is that the new dominant even feeling is that the new dominant even feeling is that the new dominant even though we have thought of it only as though we have thought of it only as though we have thought of it only as another enslavement will be the nucleus another enslavement will be the nucleus another enslavement will be the nucleus for higher positivism and that it will for higher positivism and that it will for higher positivism and that it will be the means of elevating into be the means of elevating into be the means of elevating into infinitude a new batch of fixed Stars infinitude a new batch of fixed Stars infinitude a new batch of fixed Stars until as a recruiting instrument it too until as a recruiting instrument it too until as a recruiting instrument it too will play out and will give way to some will play out and will give way to some will play out and will give way to some new medium for generating new medium for generating new medium for generating absoluteness it is our acceptance that absoluteness it is our acceptance that absoluteness it is our acceptance that all astronomers of today have lost their all astronomers of today have lost their all astronomers of today have lost their souls or rather all chance of attaining souls or rather all chance of attaining souls or rather all chance of attaining entity but that cernic us and Kepler and entity but that cernic us and Kepler and entity but that cernic us and Kepler and Galileo and Newton and conceivably Laria
