Nilbach Suchare

Nilbach Suchare is a pseudonym used by a variety of authors to reference a work or group of works that the writer wishes to take indirect credit for by directing the reader to discover the identity of Nilbach.
Uses
The name has been used for a variety of purposes including politically motivated letter writing, speech and manuscript writing, as well as writings associated with graduate school admissions. The mostly commonly quoted phrase is as follows
"And the rural man will live a slow life, inflexible to change, except from sources of great entropic potential. He then is always in anticipation of this personal Ragnarök, waiting just behind the visible future, to disturb the years of easy, tranquil existence.
For he is neither Odinic, or Gigantic, but a third then - the last observer. His thoughts singular - pondering if Asimov got it right: even if we make of the universe one single, complete account, neither the record nor the telling would survive to tell the next ones."

Referencing Asimov's "The Last Question" and traditional Norse mythology, Suchare compares the fatalistic nature of the Norse endtime battle with the certainty of Asimov's prediction - that were entropy left undefeated, nothing of the universe would remain intact, in any meaningful form.
Purpose
The goal behind creating Nilbach Suchare is to demonstrate that the Internet has become a reference for virtually all published material, so the canon no longer exists as a controllable, countable set, but a random, vacillating background. In this new form, its source material is drawn from a larger more diverse population, presenting the supposition of democratized reality.
