Hello everyone, another blog coming up. So I'm first thinking about how to answer how you can't be lonely because there is no one to be lonely.  I guess maybe Eric had an out of body feeling where he understood that life is what you make it.  Maybe if you don't think about loneliness you cannot feel it.  If you don't define loneliness you can't experience it.  Or that Eric still has himself and his past to keep him company so everyone cannot be lonely because they are connected by memory or his thoughts.  Now on to the paper, so I know we have only two weeks left of class and have been trying to figure out the subject of my paper.  I have been going through my mind, how are all of these authors connected.  I know they all are a part of the evolution of science and lit and each evolves their own ways of looking at the past. Well maybe not so much Whitman but definitely Darwin, Dennett, and Hustvedt.  Although Whitman believes that he contains multitudes and some of those multitudes could come from past experiences since he experiences all things and becomes every person.  Maybe Whitman embodies the rest of the authors, brings them together as they all try to look at the past and find a pattern or explanation for themselves.  Now I just have to fit my little thoughts into a ten page paper.
