no need to be sorry
nor silly about any such
for of course i enjoyed it
as i do all your ridiculous pronouncements
but it is the multipointing alone that effects the break in
geopolitical space
& indeed sacralizes its profanity
by honoring
not a restrictive sovereignty
but the multiple sovereignty that exists only at certain points
& by simultaneously honoring the equal divinity of the pointer seeker
all in one
all at once
& thus transcending even multidimensionality
by celebrating totality
& of course i am glad your professor & you have given us the
opportunity to see this & point it out
by your hilarious misrepresentation of eliade
but please
really read the book
before continuing to run on about its value to us
it is of potentially enormous value to us
