More From Thomas Jefferson

What chemists took from dalton was not new experimental laws but a new way of practicing chemistry (he himself called it the 'new system of chemical philosophy'), and this proved so rapidly fruitful that only a few of the older chemists in france and britain were able to resist it.
Philosophy Science Law
You have heard of the new chemical nomenclature endeavored to be introduced by lavoisier, fourcroy, &c. other chemists of this country, of equal note, reject it, and prove in my opinion that it is premature, insufficient and false. these latter are joined by the british chemists; and upon the whole, i think the new nomenclature will be rejected, after doing more harm than good. there are some good publications in it, which must be translated into the ordinary chemical language before they will be useful.

The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in the relation that the relation relates itself to its own self; the self is not the relation but that the relation relates itself to its own self.

Substance is a subspecies of value. when you reverse the containment process and define substance in terms of value the mystery disappears: substance is a "stable pattern of inorganic values." the problem then disappears. the world of objects and the world of values is unified.

Composition is a side issue. its role in my selection of photographs is a negative one at best. by which i mean that the fascination of a photograph is not in its eccentric composition but in what it has to say: its information content. and, on the other hand, composition always also has its own fortuitous rightness.

The idea that the creative endeavor and mind-altering substances are entwined is one of the great pop-intellectual myths of our time. substance abusing writers are just substance abusers — common garden variety drunks and druggies, in other words. any claims that the drugs and alcohol are necessary to dull a finer sensibility are just the usual self-serving bullshit. i've heard alcoholic snowplow drivers make the same claim, that they drink to still the demons.
