Peircers,
As I read, read again, and scan ahead through Frederik's book, I find the issues
it raises very stimulating and its overall perspective very "amen"-able, if you
will, from my customary spot in the amen corner. If I appear too often or only
critical, it is probably because I don't normally find I have anything pressing
to add until we come to a point of divergence from the overall accord.
At this point in our reading, I can already see "the garden of forking paths",
normally such delight to ramble through, threatening to overgrow our sight of
the end-in-view we wandered into these woods to reach.
One thing that helps me in situations like that is to copy out selected passages
from the source text, the ones that seem to light up as I read them the first
time, before my vision is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought and too
much bandying of words about.
So I'm going to set aside this thread for that. Don't worry if a lot of the
passages I collect here come from different points in the book than we happen to
be discussing at any given time, or from other sources that may come to mind.
There is no need to bother with them until such time as their bearing on present
business becomes evident.
Regards,
Jon
