Michel Houellebecq. The ability of the island (№ 156635)

For starters, a Palestinian terrorist claimed that in metaphysical terms the value of the hostage is equal to zero (for incorrect), but is not negative: a negative value would be a Jew; therefore, its elimination is not desirable, but simply irrelevant. On the contrary, in terms of economic hostage has significant value, as is the citizen of the rich States, moreover, always supporting his subjects. Formulating these assumptions, a Palestinian terrorist has begun a series of experiments. First, he pulled the hostage a tooth (bare hands), and then stated that its market value has not changed. Then he did the same operation with a fingernail, this time armed with pincers. Later in the conversation entered a second terrorist, and between the Palestinians unfolded a brief discussion in a more or less Darwinian manner. In the end they tore the hostage testicles, not forgetting to carefully treat the wound to prevent his premature death. Both came to the conclusion that, because the operation changed only the biological value of a hostage; his metaphysical value remains equal to zero, and the market remained very high. In short, the farther the more than Pascal was the dialogue and the less bearable - visuals; by the way, I was surprised to realize how inexpensive tricks used in the films "Gore".
