“When I said no, the full gamut of my meaning necessitated the birth of the universe and all of the ramifications of its existence ‘from beginning to end’ (as timeworms might put it). Effectively, however, that incredibly flagrant exposition emerged from nothing more particular than my reply in the negative.

Now, whether or not this might justify any argument reducing the universe and all of its event-relations to a single transcendental negation is a more complex matter into which I will not here delve; after all, it has nothing whatsoever, which is to say everything at once, to do with my reply.”
