"...my conclusion directly contradicts the original idea I start from.
Starting from unlimited freedom, I conclude with unlimited despotism.
I will add, however, that apart from my solution to the social
formula, there is no other."

Marat: Why is everything so confused now
Everything I wrote or spoke
was considered and true
each argument was sound
And now
doubt
Why does everything sound false

Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton
Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade (1964) tr. Geoffrey

[Causality] is a merely statistical truth and not absolute, it is a sort of working hypothesis of how events evolve one out of another, whereas synchronicity takes the coincidence of events in space and time as meaning something more than mere chance, namely, a peculiar interdependence of objective events among themselves as well as with the subjective (psychic) states of the observer or observers.
