these are the brightest words i've read on this list in AGES - thank you
judy
for that brilliant little dot - it must have the depth of magnificent
vision ...
(is that a form of putrid ingratiation? is that ok? so few say such
interesting things...
hell, let it be ingratiating. )

i'd add, that with the science of the particular, in-relation as
engagement with others,
there needs to be a space where self-deception is articulated,
where denial and refusals of knowledge are recognized as particulars of
learning,
and where rejection is not the clashing of ideas, but the collusions of
historical identities - there is a personal quality to all work, however
intellectual;
and the neurotic pontificator is as muddled as the objective scientist
when it
comes to "strange new possibilities" -being neurotic is universal,
certainly, but the recognition of others' madnesses is not enough:
being neurotic and self-aware of how this
projects into our projects can help in the work of unwriting the
malevolence that
characterizes so much of the work of science.

nicely projected, really.
thanks
diane, not so far from the madding crowd as immersed in the maddening ...
