Epigraph for bullshit fans . . .

On Siri Hustvedt:

“… she explores the nature of identity
in a structure of crystalline complexity.”

"When logic and proportion
have fallen sloppy dead . . . "
— Song lyric

"My pet peeve recently has been
the aspect ratios of people’s presentations.
These days, more often than not, our
projectors in our rooms and lecture theatres
are by default in 16:9 aspect ratio.
Yet the default for beamer is 4:3."
