Somebody asked me how I felt about leaving Miami today, because, you know, I’m really “leaving” this time. I still don’t have a good answer. I imagine that I’ll actually have done the leaving before I do.
“I learn a great deal by merely observing you, and letting you talk as long as...”

Progress
have finished the re-write and fix-ups of the introduction and first two sections of the newly re-formated thesis. some work on generality, hintikka and parsons, some more cutting out, and if i’m lucky, a new section on why arithmetic doesn’t have axioms in kant (even though he’s probably very wrong about this) to go. then i can finally focus my attention on fun, frivolous things...

i am willing to be proven wrong about this.

i know i’ve been doing this far too long when i can think, ‘oh, i need something to show that kant is, in fact, giving an account of how mathematical proof is possible too,’ and simply know that what i want is somewhere around A717/B745, in the discipline of pure reason.
