"Once upon a time on Tralfamadore there were creatures who weren't anything like machines. They weren't dependable. They weren't efficient. They weren't predictable. They weren't durable. And these poor creatures were obsessed by the idea that everything that existed had to have a purpose, and that some purposes were higher than others

in slaughterhouse 5, the tralfamadorians could see every moment in the past, present and future all at one. i'm guessing these are different ones...?

if that's the case, i need to read more vonnegut.

In the Sirens of Titan, Winsten Rumfoord steers his spaceship into a chrono-synclastic infundibulum to see what would happen because no one knew. He was the person in this book that saw the past, present, and future as one, not the Tralfamadorians.

I want to explain so much to explain one little thing, so just read the book. I'll read Slaughterhouse 5, and we'll compare.

sounds like a plan. but i have a pile of books that take priority, so it might be awhile.
