I appreciate that more than I can say as I have pretty much managed to not
really connect. I am run of the mill liberal arts which I think is lots of
"educated" folk. I draw blanks when things seem too complex to pass what I
think of as the C. P. Snow test. No offence intended, just apples and
oranges and not enough Peirce Popularizers or emenders to participate in
what I think is the actual victory of his triadic POV. He certainly
deserves to be an Icon.
