thinking fondly of an old classmate jason carroll who always brought the tangential to the table along with the wrong books. for instance gravity's rainbow.  he was so brilliant.  he was reading everything.  so was apple igrek.

it is through them i knew of deleuze and guatarri.

thinking fondly of the spinoza seminar.

also my first philosophy class at governor's school in 93.  we studied locke.

i am so glad to be in the empiricists class as well as the wittgenstein class.
my tastes were very 20th century so all the older stuff is soooo important . . . and familiar . . . and lovely
it is good to be brushing up on  . . .

what we are on the look out for is order and regularity in nature

Bacon also listed what he called the Idols of The Mind. He described these as things which obstructed the path of correct scientific reasoning.

1. Idols of the Tribe (Idola Tribus): This is humans' tendency to perceive more order and regularity in systems than truly exists, and is due to people following their preconceived ideas about things.
2. Idols of the Cave (Idola Specus): This is due to individuals' personal weaknesses in reasoning due to particular personalities, likes and dislikes.
3. Idols of the Marketplace (Idola Fori): This is due to confusions in the use of language and taking some words in science to have a different meaning than their common usage.
4. Idols of the Theatre: This is the following of academic dogma and not asking questions about the world.
