when I pluck a millipede from the porch floor it curls to a tight ball, & I fling it outside, where no doubt it lands somewhere & eventually (how long? how does its timer work?) it uncurls & crawls away exactly what will my behavior be when something ten thousand times larger plucks me up & flings me out? since while this removal occurs neither the millipede nor I speak can any observer call either of us a higher life form?
