On a cold night I woke in the middle of the night.

Are Trump and Sanders aberrational.
...

Viktor Jakob spent most of his career during the period of classical physics, a paradigm being confronted by the rapid and radical developments of relativistic physics.

Or is it a paradigm shift. Is realignment occurring.

"I am still resisting with all my might the 'meaninglessness of the events of the world and trying to replace it by 'incomprehensibility.' But how difficult it is to carry through this point of view."
...
The major concern was with the potentially fascistic individual, one whose structure is such as to render him particularly susceptible to antidemocratic propaganda...we could not expect to find subjects who would openly identify themselves with it; yet there was no difficulty in finding subjects whose outlook was such as to indicate that they would readily accept fascism if it should become a strong or respectable social movement.

Is it latent fascism. Or latent insanity.

...

Hearing the harsh snarling of dogs gave feelings of barring out evil. Hearing the sound of drums stirred restless thoughts. 

Hearing the sound of drums.
Is it the cultural contradictions of capitalism.

It is not that at other times these sounds and shapes do not exist like this, nor that they do not reach the eye and ear of man, but that appearance is the servant of a thing, and yet the mind hastens to follow it.
...
At night the sounds were indistinct. The whole city seemed to groan as an animal.

Is it the legend of the shark.
Hearing the sound of drums.

When sound is broken and shape shattered and the will rises free, what is this will? Is it within? Or is it without? Or is it in a thing? Or does it cause the thing to be? Is there not a way of defining the
difference? Most certainly, and I perceive the difference.

I cannot see clearly, nor hear clearly.
