Excerpt

It is as if what mattered was merely the existence of each apodictic pronouncement, rather than prosaic details like where or when. Smithson: “The artificial ingenuity of time allows no return to nature. . . . There is nothing to ‘understand’ about such a region except the consciousness that makes understanding impossible.” Cue Thus Spake Zarathustra, and turn it up really loud.
