The flow of knowledge, to borrow a phrase from M.I.A’s Lights, only sends light beams to the sender. Rashid is the terminal point. He is also the reference point of the light-dark, a sign to an exhausted retreat to the inside at a juncture of the accumulation of time riddled with obsolescence and abandonment. The recoil to Rashid’s introspection at the end of this circuit of self-inspection follows the necessity imposed by Freud and Nietzsche for (self-) reflexivity: to make your own internal sphere.
