I’m going to repeat that, because I think it’s important. This is a fish that looks like Pumpkinhead — the title monster from the 1988 horror film of the same name. And it therefore deserves the attention of this blog.

― Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

Have you ever wondered if the universe, as you perceive it, doesn’t exist? That it’s just an infinitely detailed illusion that occupies the senses of all your waking hours — and which ceases to exist when you close your eyes at night?
And that it is reconstructed every morning, all its imperceptible threads spun nimbly out of oblivion’s ether to meet your waking eyes with its whole cloth, its meticulous fiction?
Yeah, me too. Good morning.
