List, It behooves us to stop accusing people of being literalists as if it is *their* problem that they are literalists. Today, there is a wind blowing through the Academy demanding that all of us become literalists when we encounter digital models of the human mind, creating an unhealthy positive

List, I think it is absurd to start a separate mailing list. Especially since its purpose would be to use Peirce's work as a mirror to see what is going on in society today. If people feel perturbed or unvalidated after reading the emails distributed by this list, well, have you ever had a discu
