The Book of the Damned
·
Charles Fort

Whether
he
jumped,
or
arrived
at
the
conclusion
by
a
more
leisurely
process,
the
farmer
thought
that
the
flint
object
had
fallen
in
the
storm.
In
this
instance
we
have
a
lamentable
scientist
with
us.
It's
impossible
to
have
positive
difference
between
orthodoxy
and
heresy:
somewhere
there
must
be
a
merging
into
each
other,
or
an
overlapping.
Nevertheless,
upon
such
a
subject
as
this,
it
does
seem
a
little
shocking.
In
most
works
upon
meteorites,
the
peculiar,
sulphurous
odor
of
things
that
fall
from
the
sky
is
mentioned.
Sir
John
Evans
(Stone
Implements,
p.
57)
says--with
extraordinary
reasoning
powers,
if
he
could
never
have
thought
such
a
thing
with
ordinary
reasoning
powers--that
this
flint
object
"proved
to
have
been
the
bolt,
by
its
peculiar
smell
when
broken."
If
it
did
so
prove
to
be,
that
settles
the
whole
subject.
If
we
prove
that
only
one
object
of
worked
stone
has
fallen
from
the
sky,
all
piling
up
of
further
reports
is
unnecessary.
However,
we
have
already
taken
the
stand
that
nothing
settles
anything;
that
the
disputes
of
ancient
Greece
are
no
nearer
solution
now
than
they
were
several
thousand
years
ago--all
because,
in
a
positive
sense,
there
is
nothing
to
prove
or
solve
or
settle.
Our
object
is
to
be
more
nearly
real
than
our
opponents.
Wideness
is
an
aspect
of
the
Universal.
We
go
on
widely.
According
to
us
the
fat
man
is
nearer
godliness
than
is
the
thin
man.
Eat,
drink,
and
approximate
to
the
Positive
Absolute.
Beware
of
negativeness,
by
which
we
mean
indigestion.
