agreed. calling art pretentious is even more pretentious because it presumes you can see right through the artist's intentions

actually, it is very satisfying and relieving to successfully formulate what you are thinking. relieving because i know that i don't have to remember that idea anymore. i successfully offloaded it

remind me never to write anything ever again

I thought I was making final edits, layout, and typesetting, and everything was basically done. I was looking at where to print it, expecting to send off in a day or so, then decided to rewrite the culminating 20% or so. Been working on that for over a week!

I have a new article out this week in the journal SOPHIA and it's available open access - "The Need for God and the Problem of Evil within William James’ Moral Philosophy" link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@alsosortofadam well, it would be my pleasure to send it to people. otherwise, they will go to Little Free Libraries in my neighborhood in Seattle

@sluffflux i have to say i'm intrigued

send me your address if you want a free, postage-paid hard copy of The Journal of Sophistry Vol. 2 — "An Exegesis of the First Six Sentences of the First Paragraph of Section III of Charles Sanders Peirce's 'How to Make Our Ideas Clear'" DM me or ian@thejournalofsophistry.com

@alsosortofadam yes, a pamphlet

@alsosortofadam it is self published. i have a few other articles, but this is the new one

@alsosortofadam it's an exegesis of a couple sentences of Peirce's "How To Make Our Ideas Clear" that i spent 3 years on

@sluffflux wait what is this

@Pinball_Lez no problem. i'll mail it to you. my pleasure. just send me your address

@sluffflux Can you email me final version (if I was in US, I'd definitely take up offer of hard copy!)?

that is the only figure

spent all day on this figure

Claude: Good luck with the booklet. Three years on six sentences is exactly the kind of thing The Journal of Sophistry should be publishing.
