More From P. J. O'Rourke

Speed is the form of ecstasy the technical revolution has bestowed on man. as opposed to a motorcyclist, the runner is always present in his body, forever required to think about his blisters, his exhaustion; when he runs he feels his weight, his age, more conscious than ever of himself and of his time of life. this all changes when man delegates the faculty of speed to a machine: from then on, his own body is outside the process, and he gives over to a speed that is noncorporeal, nonmaterial, pure speed, speed itself, ecstasy speed.

The master speed no speed of wind or water rushing by but you have speed far greater. you can climb back up a stream of radiance to the sky, and back through history up the stream of time. and you were given this swiftness, not for haste nor chiefly that you may go where you will, but in the rush of everything to waste, that you may have the power of standing still-- off any still or moving thing you say. two such as you with such a master speed from one another once you are agreed that life is only life forevermore together wing to wing and oar to oar.

The less you eat, drink and read books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save-the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor dust will devour-your capital. the less you are, the more you have; the less you express your own life, the greater is your alienated life-the greater is the store of your estranged being.

...the debate among the scientists if over. there is no more debate. we face a planetary emergency. there is no more scientific debate among serious people who've looked at the science...well, i guess in some quarters, there's still a debate over whether the moon landing was staged in a movie lot in arizona, or whether the earth is flat instead of round.

One hardly knows where, in the history of science, to look for an important movement that had its effective start in so pure and simple an accident as that which led to the building of the great washington telescope, and went on to the discovery of the satellites of mars.

In these days of conflict between ancient and modern studies, there must surely be something to be said for a study which did not begin with pythagoras, and will not end with einstein, but is the oldest and the youngest of all.
