[FRIAM] death

[Russ Abbott]

Near the end of the Aeon piece.

Those hoping that I would resolve this paradox might now be getting a
little anxious, as we are reaching the penultimate paragraph with no
solution in sight. But it should be clear by now that I do not believe
there is a solution. I believe that the death of the fly was both
insignificant and a kind of catastrophe. And I believe that about the
deaths of frogs and pigs too, and about my own death, and yours.

I was one of those hoping the article would arrive somewhere. It's well
written. But ultimately it's a tease, implying that it will provide wisdom
about a subject about which there is very little, if any.
