All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: That I am nobody but myself.

CW: cannabis mentioned
So under the spell of the reefer I discovered a new analytical way of listening to music. The unheard sounds came through, and each melodic line existed of itself, stood out clearly from all the rest, said its piece, and waited patiently for the other voices to speak. That night I found myself hearing not only in time, but in space as well. I not only entered the music but descended, like Dante, into its depths.

What do we mean by uncertainty? And why do we want to look for it?
This episode, we scour from jazz music to Rubik's Cubes, and from Gatsby to Ellison, from Obama to Carroll, to make sense of it. And there's nothing less than world transformation at stake.

"Hoje em dia, o meu mundo é feito de infinitas possibilidades. Que frase! Ainda assim, é uma boa frase e uma boa atitude perante a vida; o ser humano não devia aceitar outra; isso, ao menos, aprendi debaixo da terra. Até que um grupo consiga colocar o mundo numa camisa de forças, essa definição é possível e viável."
— Ralph Ellison, Homem Invisível#RalphEllison publicou apenas um romance. Um chegou.

*“I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. Like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it is as though I have been surrounded by mirrors of hard, distorting glass. When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves or figments of their imagination, indeed, everything and anything except me.”*

“And it is here precisely that ethnic resistance is least effective. On this level the melting pot did indeed melt, creating such deceptive metamorphoses and blending of identities, values and life-styles that most American whites are culturally part Negro American without even realizing it.”

CW: "Hibernation is a covert preparation for a more overt action." (Ralph Ellison)

So I have finished Nexus and come away with a more nuanced opinion of Henry Miller. Haven’t read him since I was an undergraduate English major in the 80s. Decided then that his ability to write brilliant sentences couldn’t make up for his misogyny enough for me to waste my time. But, really, his is a more expansive racism and bigotry than I remembered and he is a self-absorbed narcissist to boot. I can’t recommend him in good faith, but it is true that he can turn a phrase and has many worthy ideas to ponder - after living in his head for 20 chapters I need a mental deep cleanse.
