(no subject)
Look what I found: http://majikthise.typepad.com/majikthise_/files/en_20050108_blog.pdf I don't think I agree.
I am about to start writing out answers. This is instructive regarding my relation to details: I feel they can wait. Or want them to wait because recalling them is tedious. This comes across in my writing. The details come across as laborious.
I'm insanely nervous about meeting Baz, which I said I would do after the comp, because I expect him to say lots of mean disenheartening things, and because I don't remember why I wanted to do an independent study. There's so much in my head; I need a good long weekend of sorting out in order to know what to focus on next. (The biggest Big Picture is not something I do with ease--it requires sitting down and working--but it's something I do with fervor. It's the best state to be in: knowing there's sorting out to be done.) It would be fun to attack the empiricist--um, Quinean--concept of experience, whereby experience is all outward-focused; Kant would help with that. I'd like to read Remarks on Color and On Certainty but can't remember why, and can't really say why I have to do it now.
