The Discrete Charm of Reason

The world of literary criticism is the world of Reason in a microcosm. We set up long rows of desk with monitors, and people get to work creating things. Then we create mirror image of everything on the other side of the work space. Then we further add a mirror of infinite regression, wherein all the workers at creating messages of reason are multiplied without end.

The only knowledge which works well in all this is Science, because it has the on/off switch of experimentation to put an end to infertile speculatory paths.
