Peter Sloterdijk
“Written culture itself, up to its recently implemented universal literacy, has had sharply selective effects. It has riven its host societies and formed a divide between literate and illiterate human beings, whose unbridgeability almost attained the firmness of a species differentiation. If one wished, despite Heidegger鈥檚 dissuasions, to speak anthropologically again, then the human beings of historical times could be defined as the animals of whom some can read and write while the others cannot. From here it is only a single step, if a demanding one, to the thesis that human beings are the animals of whom some breed those like them, while the others are bred鈥攁 thought that belongs to the pastoral folklore of Europeans since the time of Plato鈥檚 reflections on education and the state. Something of this is still heard in Nietzsche鈥檚 statement that few of the human beings in the small houses will, but most are willed. But to be only willed means to exist merely as an object, not as a subject, of selection.”
Peter Sloterdijk, Not Saved: Essays After Heidegger

鈥淪he cries.鈥� Ashley鈥檚 high-pitched voice cut through the silence as if she were dispensing juicy country-club gossip. 鈥淎ll the time. She really misses Aires.鈥�
Both my father and I turned our heads to look at the blond bimbo. I willed her to continue while my father, I鈥檓 sure, willed her to shut up. God listened to me for once. Ashley went on, 鈥淲e all miss him. It鈥檚 so sad that the baby will never know him.鈥�
And once again, welcome to the Ashley show, sponsored by Ashley and my father鈥檚 money.”
