I love to write.


 

Not because I know how, but because otherwise thoughts start scratching from the inside, like mice inside my skull. It’s not a hobby; it’s a form of coexistence between my anabolism and my own catabolism.

 

Many people dislike what I write.

And that I write.

And how I write.

And—especially—why I write.

 

Three questions to which I have one answer: because I crushed a bottle of ink, it spilled all over, and now I have to dip my finger (surely not a quill!) into this puddle and write until it dries.

 

Some people think I’ve tangled up science, philosophy, religion, and some sort of esoterica.

My dears.

To understand my scribblings, you just need to know this:

there is no science in my books.

Nor philosophy.

Nor religion.

Nor esoterica.

 

There are un-thoughts.

There are non-sciences.

And—most importantly—there is a whole lot of non-philosophy in here too.

 

If you think it’s science—that’s just an approximation error of the Lagrange interpolating polynomial through a prism of cognac distillate.

If you think it’s philosophy—it’s merely the Limit of the Boundary along which a hungover cockroach crawls in search of the Boundary of the Limit. By the way, I don't drink, so I can only invent the thoughts of this very cockroach.

If you hallucinate religion—it means you’ve simply forgotten that a midnight sunrise is also delirium, but a beautiful one.

If it’s esoterica—you’re looking for the border between "here" and "there" in the wrong place, because it doesn’t exist anyway until someone looks at it.

 

So read me as a description of a midnight sunrise (or a high-noon sunset).

Delirium is just delirium.

But I love to write.

The rest is a matter of taste.

And everyone’s taste is ruined in its own unique way.

§ 1. Thermals and Rotors (Paragliding terminology) A thermal. A warm, sunless autumn day. Over the summer, the trolleybuses had ground the asphalt at the stop into such deep ruts that they resembled permanent scars. The higher-ups, having reached the epiphany that trolleybuses and buses are not, in fact, trams, decided it was time to replace the pavement. They scraped away the ruts and began laying a new surface. Steam billowed from the trucks arriving one after another; steam rose from the asphalt paver, and since there was no wind, it drifted upward—steady, smooth, and purposeful. The first to notice this atmospheric phenomenon known as a "thermal" was Galk...

Here I am writing a book — or rather, translating it into English. At the same time, all sorts of new passages and exits keep cropping up. I'm a creative person with a tremendous talent for the art of procrastination, so of course I can't just walk past them — I try to plug them as I go, but sometimes these tunnels refuse to be plugged and lead off sideways… or into the distance… or deep into the centuries. So deep, in fact, that you can't uproot them. So this text is not the ravings of a madman — it's an echo… or a spoiler. A spoiler from those very depths, when your favourite pastimes were either collecting roots or skinning a freshly caught fish. So: catch a fish, eat it — now you can sleep. Sleep — now you can eat. Catch another fish, eat it — well, you get the algorithm. And the question arises: what about leisure? How did they spend their downtime in prehistoric times, when there wasn't even chess? Today there are more entertainments than candies in a candy…
