This is not the whole story about the conclusion of "Un-Man," just the points that I wanted to comment on.
Naysmith thinks:
"Psychological troubles are no excuse for losing your appetite. In fact, they should heighten the old reliable pleasures." (XIV, p. 126)
There is no "excuse" or "should" involved. People react differently, that is all. Andrea tells me that he comfort eats whereas, when I have psychological troubles, I lose my appetite and a lot of weight. Maybe a good thing in the long run.
It was easy for Fourre to arrange his secret clone research during the Years of Madness: those "Years" again.
Jeanne Donner to Naysmith:
"'Oh, yes. I understand.' She stood quiet for a while. The wind blew her dress and hair about her, fluttering them against the great clean expanse of sea and forest and sky." (pp. 128-129)
The wind again emphasizes human silence. The world is clean because it has been cleansed of the psychotics in the "gang."

Kaor, Paul!
Except, of course, that "protean enemy," the human race itself, with all the flaws, weaknesses, and vices we are all so prone to show.
Ad astra! Sean
