Neoclassicism / Joseph Wright/ Vesuvius from Posillipo

Cooking dinner rice and just put in the picture above. Just getting set for a long weekend and some alternate psychologies and thinking.  Life seems pretty good. 

Trying to get low on the food chain this week.  Rice and onions and cheap turkey and eggs and cheese all in a mishmash.  Filling and tasty and probably not bad for me.  I have been pretty good about my eating lately.  Not great, just less bad than I was.  Which is where it plays this time of year. 

I“Learned people have handled the specialization of thought with an incredible lack of precaution. It is almost universally assumed that the growth of a specialization leaves unaffected the presuppositions as to the perspective of the environment which were sufficient for the initial stages. It cannot be too clearly understood that the expansion of any special topic changes its whole meaning from top to bottom. As the subject matter of a science expands, its relevance to the universe contracts. For it presupposes a more strictly defined environment. The definition of the environment is exactly what is omitted from special abstraction.”
