Note that “Josef K.” - the name on that sinister little film - is also the name of Franz Kafka’s hapless main character in both The Trial and The Castle. Kafka wrote in German. His gravestone is funny-looking. There is also a creepy statue of him in Prague, city of the golem, who is Darth Vader projected into the past from an even more distant past.

And skhizein is Greek for “to split”.

I think Charles is trying to tell us something.
