- 5482: Anna Karenina
- ... death, and the three characters live in a moment of pure innocence. Yet as the crisis ends, and everything returns to normality, Anna, Vronsky and Karenin return to their old ways to live in that world of delusion. Anna and Vronsky continues with their ill-fated love, while Karenin despite his ennoblement, finds Anna cannot love him and reverts back to his old ways. This clearly shows that death brings about the ultimate truth of life and the world of the living is just a delusion.

- 5484: Birth Control Or Legal Murder
- ... was permissible, but as out civilization has aged, it seems that such acts were no longer acceptable by rational human beings, so that in 1948, the U.S, along with most other nations in the world signed a declaration of the United Nations promising every human being the right to life.

Turner offers the solution that if we refuse these three moves- the abstraction of things into resources, their commensurability in translatable units, and the choice of money as the value of the units- and economic theory is useless(64). The preservation of the wild nature requires a deeper geocentric view of the world. Chapter five delves into the Turner s knowledge and experience of the white pelican.
