There is a good possibility that you know who you are. Such things are relative of course, but the basics are always familiar: name, age, location, so forth and so on. You cannot comprehend your full position in the universe, but a basic geographic understanding relative to a continental plate will do. The point is, you have awareness of the self.

Contemplate upon the abstraction as you drink true Honolulu Blue Kool-Aid, the totemic representation. Think upon Platonic ideals as Matthew Stafford charges for a fourth-quarter comeback. Reflect upon Nietzsche’s thoughts of terrifying masks as Detroit gets pummeled on a three-game skid.

Drink, and football shall be the void.
