While anyone can study his writings, CSP’s level of genius, his level of knowledge of numerous languages, his level of scientific experiences and his seemingly innate capacity to make pink elephants appear to to pussy cats, (e.g. BS-ing), make it difficult for anyone to project his thoughts into rarefied logical, mathematical, scientific or philosophical atmospheres. Many readers of this list are familiar with the CSP frequent whining about not having the resources to fully express his works. Often, he complained about the lack of time in a lecture to develop his ideas fully. But, more importantly, he made a concerted effort to find funding to publish 36 volumes of his memoirs from the Carnegie foundation (1902). [EP2, page xxiv] Various drafts of the application were published. Even support from President Roosevelt was insufficient influence his vicious detractors. Such musings are neither unknown nor uncommon among CSP scholars. Cheers Jerry
