The Personal is Political. The Political is Personal.

 
Why I blog so rarely

 I am not at all so much in love with my thoughts . . .  

 my motto: "bene vixit qui bene latuit."

from Descartes' Jan. 10, 1634 letter to Marin Mersenne ("the father of acoustics").



The Latin motto is discussed a bit here.




The letter is discussed a bit here (from 1966).  It was quoted last month in a book review here.



Someone may ask: Does TiR mean somehow to equate this pointless blog with the subject of Descartes' letter, his treatise, The World?

We reply: Now you're just being ridiculous .
