Vom hohen Thron herunterzukommen und zu erkennen, dass das Geschäft der Zukunftsvorhersage aus den Händen gleitet, das scheint sein Problem. Und nicht ohne (vielleicht unbewussten) Grund fügt er am Ende des Buches einen Brief von Darwin, am Ende seines Lebens geschrieben, ein:
"Bis 30 habe ich es genossen, aber seit vielen Jahren kann ich keine einzige Zeile eines Gedichtes mehr lesen. Mein Verstand scheint zu einer Art Maschine gewesen zu sein, die allgemeine Gesetze filtert. Und könnte ich nochmal leben, ich würde es mir zum Gesetz machen, mehrmals in der Woche Gedichte zu lesen und Musik zu hören. Der Verlust dieser Eigenschaft ist ein Verlust an Glück."
Nichts ist falsch an diesem Buch, bestechend gute Beispiele, irgendwie stimmig alles - und doch: Entscheidendes fehlt. Leider.
