  1. Approaching Peirce
    inquiryintoinquiry.com/2012/06

    I gradually grow accustomed to the distinct possibility that there will always be different readings, and even divergent interpretations of Peirce’s writings. Some of that appears to be a two- or three-cultures issue — the readings that befit aesthetic, cultural, and literary aims often part ways with the readings that work best for logical, mathematical, and scientific ends. Partly that is due to the fact that applications to the humanities are soon over-whelmed with the vastly greater complexities of their theatres of operation, and so must be satisfied with very impressionistic and highly sketchy surveys of their realms.

    It hasn’t always been that way with me, but most of the time these days I approach Peirce’s work from the standpoint of a practical mathematician focused on applications to empirical sciences, as luck would determine it, to the Odyssean no man’s land between qualitative and quantitative methods. That is far from how I started out, and there were many crises of mind and mood occasioned by the transits of my transdisciplinarity, but that is how it came to be at the present moment.

    At any rate, what I find in Peirce are not antiques but tools toward the future.

  2. It’s been a challenging summer with battles on more than one front this year. Thankfully, Kesha released a song called “Bastards” [E] in 2017 and it just reached me yesterday. Thanks, Kesha — it’s just what I needed.

    You're watching the official music video for Twisted Sister - "We're Not Gonna Take It (Extended Version)" from the album 'Stay Hungry' (1984). "We're Not Gonna Take It" has been covered by Donots, "Weird Al" Yankovic, and Lit among others, and has been featured in a number of television commercials and shows. Welcome to Twisted Sister’s official music video, home of iconic heavy metal and glam rock hits “I Wanna Rock,” “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” “Burn In Hell,” and “The Price” as well as smash albums ‘You Can’t Stop Rock ‘N’ Roll,’ ‘Stay Hungry,’ and the best-selling holiday album ‘A Twisted Christmas.’ Twisted Sister formed in 1973 and over their 48-year legacy, lead singer Dee Snider, guitarists Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda, bassist Mark “The Animal” Mendoza, and drummer A.J. Pero sold more than 20 million records and performed more than 9,000 shows – including 125 headline festival dates. Their electrifying stage presence and theatricality along with their fist-pumping anthems of youthful rebellion transcend generations and cultures and have made them one of the greatest heavy metal bands in history.

    Lyrics:
    We're not gonna take it
    No, we ain't gonna take it
    We're not gonna take it anymore

    We've got the right to choose, and
    There ain't no way we'll lose it
    This is our life, this is our song
    We'll fight the powers that be, just
    Don't pick on our destiny, 'cause
    You don't know us, you don't belong

    We're not gonna take it
    No, we ain't gonna take it
    We're not gonna take it anymore

    Oh, you're so condescending
    Your call is never ending
    We don't want nothin', not a thing from you
    Your life is trite and jaded
    Boring and confiscated
    If that's your best, your best won't do

    Woah-oh-oh
    Woah-oh-oh
    We're right (yeah)
    We're free (yeah)
    We'll fight (yeah)
    You'll see (yeah)

    Whoa-whoa, we're not gonna take it
    No, we ain't gonna take it
    We're not gonna take it anymore

    We're not gonna take it
    No, we ain't gonna take it
    We're not gonna take it anymore
    No way!

    Woah-oh-oh
    Woah-oh-oh
    We're right (yeah)
    We're free (yeah)
    We'll fight (yeah)
    You'll see (yeah)

    We're not gonna take it
    No, we ain't gonna take it
    We're not gonna take it anymore

    We're not gonna take it (no!)
    No, we ain't gonna take it
    We're not gonna take it anymore (just you try and make us)

    We're not gonna take it (come on!)
    No, we ain't gonna take it (you're all worthless and weak)
    We're not gonna take it anymore (now drop and give me 20)

    We're not gonna take it (a pledge pin)
    No, we ain't gonna take it (on your uniform)
    We're not gonna take it anymore

  7. Musical Interlude: Here's a local-to-me performer, doing a wonderful anthem to persistence and strength. It's written for women in abusive/controlling relationships, but it meant a lot to me when I lost a job and was facing an uncertain future.

    "You Can't Put My Fire Out," performed by Letitia VanSant.

  12. I've read about Ayn Rand, and I've read short extracts from "Atlas Shrugged", supposedly her magnum opus.

    Those extracts did not inspire me to plough through the whole of "Atlas Shrugged", but I thought to be fair I ought to read a complete work of hers, so I picked up a copy of her 1938 novella "Anthem".

    In a repressive, techophobic, collectivist dystopia, a young man rebels, rediscovers electricity, and then escapes from captivity to be joined by his female lover. He hopes to rebuild a society based on individualism -- "Anthem" concludes with the protagonist determined to carve into the stone portal of his fort the "sacred word EGO".

    Rand's writing is lifeless, with both characters and setting being little more than vehicles for the author's ponderous didacticism. The slight romance narrative smacks of sub-Hollywood teenage fantasy, with the protagonist renaming his lover "The Golden One", followed by her dubbing him 'The Unconquered".

    The concluding pages are supposed to be a poetic invocation of egoism. Instead, they come across as Rand attempting to club the reader into submission.

    I am pained to learn that this book is frequently assigned in US high schools, as it is devoid of literary merit and of no great significance in literary or cultural history. If teachers or school districts want to assign a mid 20C "antitotalitarian" work, why not press copies of "1984" into students' hands?

    Nevertheless my afternoon was not entirely wasted, as I can now get through the rest of my life without having to read another word of this tiresome crank, yet have a clear conscience when I describe her as possessing not a shred of literary talent, because my judgment is based on a first hand acquaintance with her writing.
