Is it possible for an adult man to never have seen a baby in

[Jorge]

real life?

I am talking about a fully grown (let's say 40-year-old) fully socialized, sighted and able-bodied adult, in today's world, who works and interacts with society.

Do you think it's possible for them to have gone their entire life without ever seeing a baby in person??

To put it more succinctly, is it possible for anyone to have ever seen a baby ever, if you really think about it?

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

when is the last time you saw a baby? Maybe there aren't any babies left.

[tommy]

Definitely yes.

Aping Dev's thread style, which was really just an aping of godeatgod's style...

Get fucked, Jorge. I've seen babies but go fuck ya motha.

[Jorge]

I'm looking at a baby right now

Even barring family members or friends having babies, kinda hard to believe an adult has never seen a baby in a stroller/being held/being fed/etc. in public.

Even if they're blind?

Good questions

probably depends on the age that defines a baby. are we talking just born to three months? up until 6 months? first birthday? at what point is a baby a toddler?

what if the baby was aborted

what about stem cells

Sure but this all started because of Tom's claim of never having seen a baby in person, and Tom is not blind
