The Kafka quote is worth the price of admission. It moves inward towards non-thought. Turchin looks outward and assesses the world via observations consisting of abstract measures. I am reminded of an Indonesian philosopher, Bapak Subuh, who characterized conceptual though as having the same nature as the material world.

Bapak Subuh makes sense. Turchin builds models. Model - to me -is a theater, book to play with characters pursuing error with vigor.
