Ok fine. I will ask if no one else will: what on earth is a “flat circle” ? how would it be different from a *not* flat circle? And why can’t one simply say “time is a circle?” to mean the same thing? what is with all the “flatness” I don’t get it. Someone please explain.
I mean I suppose it must be metaphorical- to say time is a circle makes history cyclic, but if it’s also flat? that means no growth, no possibility that there are highs or lows if any significance. Everyone keeps looking at current events and repeating that grim quip to me.
@futurebird The arc of the amoral universe is long, but it bends towards entropy. History seems more like a spiral to me. Up or down, hmm. Elements repeat like musical motifs, but it doesn't end where it began. Quite. Have you heard of the Lakes of Wada, in topology the Wada property or Wada basins? Fate exhibits the Wada property, I (sometimes) think. Rusty Cohle in #TrueDetective was as someone said, one dark dude.
