Theory alert on this one. It's a meditation on the Nietzschean concept of drama, and it wrestles with the Apollonian/Dionysian impulses.
Break it down like this: How will the world end? In an orgy of violence, or from becoming so stale and brittle that it just cracks apart? Or will one create the other?
This paper focuses on how Orpheus (singer, Greek, look it up) faces death, and how we can use that to decide how we will live our life. Sort of. Again, theory alert. It uses the Nietzschean drama in the language, so it's kind of a trip. Get it? Like, Orpheus went on a trip? Or Tim Leary did?
