Jeez, what a mess!

Abolish the Observer. Yeah, you've thought a whole pile before 'you
went downstairs and drank a cup and dragged a comb across your hair?'

Russell wondered whether 'the thought requires a thinker'.

'There's nothing you can sing that can't be sung, ...'.

No thinkers left? We are in a thoughtful place!

Hoyle's 'The Intelligent Universe' puts science where it belongs!

A puzzle for us to work out, he opines.

Contemporary scientific epistemology is contradictorly egocentric and
paradoxically anti-observer!

The assumption is that it all swings around us - whatever Copernicus,
foreigner, of course, might have thought!
