and today i heard from my advisor... really very helpful comments, and a forthcoming book (aka: an opportunity for me to at least partially redeem myself by writing a good review).
validation: i am isolated.
and i realize... most philosophers were at some point... perhaps even... that the significant majority of them are at at least some (and most of them most) of the time... and if you don't figure how to get through the (aknowledged) hell of that... then you probably aren't going to make it. because people mostly don't think to hire teams or research labs of philosophers. and most institutions swamp new hires with teaching work.
anyway... i'm newly inspired. the weather is fabulous today (moving into spring) and the house has been empty for most of the day... and... i have a brand new book to be reading.
life is good.
fingers crossed my home institution comes through for me. fingers crossed. and accommodation for next year... i really do need to do a paper or two in biology...
brain-dump. the new term for what i do. how do most people avoid that? should i go back to typing with two fingers?
