Deuterostome

#fragment#bataille

A protostome such as the worm1 appears as a machine of consumption and reproduction. The mouth first embryonic form is thus consumption driven and is unable to break into the general economy through excess and non-digestive waste.

It’s unable to shit out great cathedrals, philosophy or bombs.

You, deuterostome, formed your digestive circuit other way, which is to say in plain english rather than the greek:

The anus first, the mouth second.
