The cultural world is structured around the impossibility of impossible goals in which the striving for and the knowledge of impossibilities are simultaneously and incommensurately in play. It is a complex ramification of asymptotics embracing desire, existence, value etc. But if there is an intimation that the impossible is not at all impossible, that the infinity of one world is a simple evidence in a more encompassing world sharing none of the structure or meaning of the former, then all cultural goals and values are suddenly drained of their generative glamour. it might seem to parallel nihilism, but is a wholly different flavour. Such an intimation can't be attained by any sort of striving or logic, it simply dawns on you one day that it is real and has always been present, near at hand and out of time.
