Thank you, Jacob, for sharing the passage from The New Science - that "myth about myths that tries to explain myth." I was actually going through my Vico notes this weekend as I revisited my TASP notebook getting the July calendar together (please help me fill in the dates, everyone) and I noticed in a particularly messy box amidst the mess of notes I'd taken in a hurry that I had decorated with underlines and stars - "man makes himself rule of universe. formed by metaphor, begins in relation to HUMAN BODY. man becomes all things by not understanding (<-> Descartes) when man understands, he takes in things. When not, he leaves them outside of himself and becomes part of it." Thank you for clarifying this to me; I'd been very sorry to have forgotten what it was.

I actually have more to ask about Vico now that you've made me look over my increasingly enigmatic notes, but I'll take time to form real questions before I start rambling as I always do. So until then, I have something else to share:

Just ten minutes ago I remembered an artist I wanted to research for class whose name I had scribbled on a post-it and stuffed in the unused pocket of my flute case. When I fished out the post-it a thin strip of paper came up with it, and it read: "Jacob Eigen."
A relic from assassin - Jacob, if I didn't tell you, I had you the first round...
