This [updated] is a draft ‘missive’ … spent a week’s holiday in France and mostly listened to Richard Dawkins’ ‘The God Delusion’ whilst trolling around the place.  Anyway, it made me think once again about the origin of ‘stuff’ [as Dawkins avoided it (for a later book?)], like believing in ‘invisible friends’.

Just a draft/daft right now; but I would welcome feedback; and lots of ‘argument’.

Very Sad

I learned yesterday about David Foster Wallace‘s [apparent] suicide.

There’s also the strange coincidence though – last night, I needed a new book, so I turned to my ‘to be read’ pile and at the top was ‘everything and more: a compact history of infinity‘.  It wasn’t until I was about to put it down, and spotted that the author had also written ‘Infinite Jest‘ that it hit me.
