EXTINCTION
text by Thomas Bernhard
The artificial human being produced the artificial world. Nothing is natural any longer, I said. We start from the premise that everything is natural but that's a fallacy. Everything is artificial, everything is artifice. Nature no longer exists. We always start from the contemplation of nature, when for ages we should have been starting from the contemplation of artifice.
That's why everything's so chaotic. So false. So desperately confused. Where there's no nature there can be no contemplation of nature.
