Theory, as I have begun to understand, perhaps suddenly to understand, after years and years of relative incomprehension simply for it's apparent complexity, is THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH. It took a very clever plasterer who has become a very good friend of mine for me to understand this and it has taken a lot of time. There seems no book he has not read, few texts he has not assimilated. He loves maths, literature, film and philosophy, and beer and girls. He couldn't bare university because WE WERE TOO STUPID.
I'm looking to enjoy this course, just as I enjoy my drinks with Scott the plasterer, even if he gives me headaches with thinking occasionally. If we can always ask the question 'Well is this true?' we might get somewhere.
Feel free make comments on this blog throughout the course.
