The first line of this essay talks about fish not existing either. For anyone interested in this subject (albeit from a different angle) I highly recommend the book “Why Fish Don’t Exist” [1].

It’s only really a little bit about fish, the founding president of Stanford (who was an obsessive ichthyologist), and his eugenics agenda. It’s also part memoir. I found it very touching and quite good 4 the ole empathy.
