Depends on the mite. Some mites are 6 mm.

Mites aren't microscopic.

Hi Bitter Crank,

This isn't the opening of the novel. As I explained, this is an excerpt of a lecture in the novel. It occurs in the middle of the story.

I don't care that Cogitson isn't an attractive name. He's not a main character. This is literally his only appearance in the whole novel.

I also didn't ask for a critique of the writing. This is a philosophy forum.
