I have a small stock portfolio, created during 40 odd years as a librarian. I get a weekly email from the man who manages the stocks, who quotes some super-stockbroker who manages the entire company.
This week's email began: "Time is a flat circle. Nothing happened this week that hasn’t happened before." I researched it, and apparently he is paraphrasiing (without attribution) Matthew McConnaghy's character in True Detective: "Time is a flat circle. Everything we have done or will do we will do over and over and over again—forever". Which apparently is a paraphrase of Nietzsche's "doctine of eternal recurrence."
And Nietzsche wept.......
I'd really be more comfortable if they used Tarot, or the I-Ching to manage my stocks. Anyway I found this email both bizarre and funny because of its origins.
