GR translation: No count on any other levels

[Mark Kohut]

The philosophical problem of solipsism, say philosophers, is IF only you,
your mind exists,
where do other things in your mind come from? Pynchon speaks of a
structure of the mind---
a structure--see "like an Ark" as he ends this extended comparison--which
must have levels/floors/stories, etc.---
where you, solipsist, were all alone on one level......No count, nothing to
count, nothing on any other level...
BUT there are things to count, one by one, on those other levels.
Crutchfield *the only..*.one Indian who ever fought him, one President, one
assassin, etc.....one fight, one victory, one loss......Pynchon, brilliant
as always, while denying archetypal earlier
writes out archetypal like a champ.....(part of the reason I read the faro
dealer as archetypal)
