In this short fiction story, when a world-class pessimistic philosopher is faced with the decision to remove a dangerous malformation in his brain, the removal of which will likely impair his philosophical thinking, he is forced to decide what truly matters in life. What makes life meaningful, how important is philosophy and truth, and how is identity driven by the way you think as much as what you think?
