Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning: anything supporting transgender ideology, or negative toward Brexit, or in favor of a military draft or compulsory national service, will be deleted. I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
It is good to sometimes be reminded of the good news: We too will pass into time and ill remembered memory. One day, sooner that most imagine, all of this, the chaos, the concerns that fill our days will fade and grow so distant that none of this will even be important enough for a footnote.

ReplyDeleteMike: Yes, he wasn't successful in his own lifetime. I wish he could see the renown his works have gained since then, and how ubiquitous his concepts have become.
Sixpence: I think he's supposed to freak people out.
Green: Well, the arcane and ominous phrases are usually the best part.....
