Provisions

“There are two ways to die, two ways to sleep, two ways to be stupid – a head first dive into chaos or stabilized installation in order and chitin. We are provided with enough senses and instinct to protect us against the danger of explosion, but we do not have enough when faced with death from order or with falling asleep from rules and harmony”

-Michel Serres, 1980 [2007] (The Parasite.  Minneapolis MN: University of Minnesota Press.  Pg 127)
