"The fundamental belief of metaphysicians is the belief in the oppositions
of values.  It may be questioned whether there are indeed any oppositions
at all ...  Indeed, it might even be possible that what comprises the
value of those good and respected things is precisely that they are
insidiously related, tied to, interlaced with those wicked, seemingly
opposed things, and perhaps even of the same essence." (BGE, 10)

"Ages are to be assessed according to their positive forces -- and by this
assessment the age of the Renaissance, so prodigal and so fateful, appears
as the last great age" (TI 91).

"These times can't add up/Your life's such a mess/Forget the past/And just
say 'Yes'" (Sonic Youth, "Hey Joni," *Daydream Nation*)

"What do they really want?  At least to represent justice, love,
wisdom, superiority -- that is the ambition of the 'lowest,' the sick...
The will of the weak to represent some form of superiority, their instinct
for devious paths to tyranny over the healthy--where can it not be
discovered, this will to power of the weakest!" (GM 26).

Immersion 1?
	"When you're looking at life/In a strange new room/Maybe drowning
soon/Is this the start of it all?" (Joy Division, "Exercise One," *Still*)

Or Immersion 2?
	"Turn on your TV/Turn down your pulse/Turn away from it all/It's
all getting too much" (JD, "Ex. One", *Still*).
