A
baby
is
a
man
?
I
have
not
seen
babies
,
but
I
have
seen
pictures
–
and
in
the
goddam
-
noi
-
in
stereovision
.
A
baby
is
not
shaped
like
Anne
and
Anne
is
not
shaped
like
you
?
and
you
are
not
shaped
like
I
.
But
a
baby
is
a
nestling
man
?
"
"
Uh
?
yes
,
a
baby
is
a
man
.
"
"
Jubal
?
I
think
I
grok
that
my
people
–
‘
Martians
’
–
are
man
.
Not
shape
,
shape
is
not
man
.
Man
is
grokking
.
I
speak
rightly
?
"
Jubal
made
a
fierce
resolve
to
resign
from
the
Philosophical
Society
and
take
up
tatting
.
What
was
"
grokking
"
?
He
had
been
using
the
word
himself
for
a
week
now
–
and
he
still
didn
’
t
grok
it
.
But
what
was
"
Man
"
?
A
featherless
biped
?
God
’
s
image
?
Or
simply
a
fortuitous
result
of
the
"
survival
of
the
fittest
"
in
a
completely
circular
and
tautological
definition
?
The
heir
of
death
and
taxes
?
The
Martians
seemed
to
have
defeated
death
,
and
he
had
already
learned
that
they
seemed
to
have
neither
money
,
property
,
nor
government
in
any
human
sense
–
so
how
could
they
have
taxes
?
And
yet
the
boy
was
right
;
shape
was
an
irrelevancy
in
defining
"
Man
,
"
as
unimportant
as
the
bottle
containing
the
wine
.
You
could
even
take
a
man
out
of
his
bottle
,
like
the
poor
fellow
whose
life
those
Russians
had
persisted
in
"
saving
"
by
placing
his
living
brain
in
a
vitreous
envelope
and
wiring
him
like
a
telephone
exchange
.
Gad
,
what
a
horrible
joke
!
He
wondered
if
the
poor
devil
appreciated
the
grisly
humor
of
what
had
been
But
how
,
in
essence
,
from
the
unprejudiced
viewpoint
of
a
Martian
,
did
Man
differ
from
other
earthly
animals
?
Would
a
race
that
could
levitate
(
and
God
knows
what
else
)
be
impressed
by
engineering
?
And
,
if
so
,
would
the
Aswan
Dam
,
or
a
thousand
miles
of
coral
reef
,
win
first
prize
?
Man
’
s
self
-
awareness
?
Sheer
local
conceit
;
the
upstate
counties
had
not
reported
,
for
there
was
no
way
to
prove
that
sperm
whales
or
giant
sequoias
were
not
philosophers
and
poets
far
exceeding
any
human
merit
.
There
was
one
field
in
which
man
was
unsurpassed
;
he
showed
unlimited
ingenuity
in
devising
bigger
and
more
efficient
ways
to
kill
off
,
enslave
,
harass
,
and
in
all
ways
make
an
unbearable
nuisance
of
himself
to
himself
.
Man
was
his
own
grimmest
joke
on
himself
.
The
very
bedrock
of
humor
was
