Daniel C. Dennett Quote
A mountain climber foolishly climbing alone slips off a precipice and finds himself dangling at the end of his safety rope, a thousand feet above a ravine. Unable to climb the rope or swing to a safe resting spot, he calls out in despair: Hallooo, hallooo! Can anybody help me? To his astonishment, the clouds part, a beautiful light pours through them, and a mighty voice replies, Yes, my son, I can help you. Take your knife and cut the rope! The climber takes out his knife, and then he stops, and thinks and thinks. Then he cries out: Can anybody else help me?
