The result of this is that whenever Lou's unconscious theory is adequate (and it often is) he is able to make a rich selection of the relevant facts and interpret them correctly -- that is, one might say, turn them from raw data into facts. Whenever his unconscious theory is not correct or not relevant he produces huge piles of nonsense. It makes reading his stuff something of a lottery. And of course to some extent Lou is slandering himself. He doesn't really agree with the politics of Richard Rorty and Max Sawicki, two true pragmatists. Carrol
