Night sky
should be black and numerous stars should shine in it, stars
which create no constellations at all, and even if they did,
such constellations would be absolutely unlike the ones
created by various observers who simply follow their unbridled
fantasy. It should be so, but it is not – it means no one
knows whether it is so or not. Because no one knows whether
there is a night in Liberland. Everybody knows there is a day.
And everybody knows a day ends. Ends abruptly, suddenly,
unexpectedly. As if the world ended together with it. In the
case of the end of the world complete darkness is supposed to
fall. If it were so, it wouldn't be that bad, for the
existence of darkness would mean the world didn't end, for the
end of the world would mean that nothing exists, even darkness
does not exist, even nothing does not exist. The conditional
is necessary here, because these are but fantasies, not the
knowledge. We don't know what is going on after the end of the
world, we don't know if anything at all is going on. We
imagine, that nothing is going on, because nothing is
existing, but we are not sure of it. The fact nothing is
existing does not mean that nothing is going on. The lack of
anything, of any entities, does not mean the lack of any
happenings, of any events. We can imagine a language composed
only of verbs, can't we? Yet this would be only an idea,
again....
The day ends and the night does not fall – Liberland falls
into a sort of non-being. It is as if it were not. It achieves
the state between being and non-being, closer to non-being but
not identical with non-being. As if it were not existing. So
the night is as if not existing, either. So the night sky
almost does not exist, almost almost – there is almost no sky
and there is almost no night.
Can we suppose what Liberland would look like then? What would
the sky which almost almost does not exist look like? Yes, we
can, but what for? It's better to know then to imagine, than
to suppose. But if it is impossible to know? Then imagining is
just the waste of time.
