What do we make of this case? It's theoretically compatible with a deficiency of another micronutrient resulting from a higher rate of metabolism, but it gives one pause: reddit.com/r/raypeat/comm…

The twentieth century, in its latter half, shall surely see the deluge-tempest burstupon the social order,—to clear upon a world as deep in ruin as that greed-philosophy has long plunged it into guilt. No post-thermidorian high jinks then!

But the question is, how do general ideas appear in the molecular theory of protoplasm?

It's an anti-communist operation. No visible stratification that could make the masses resentful. No competitive means of advancement that could enflame that resentment. Trust the plan.

I now proceed to consider what principles should guide us in abduction, or the process of choosing a hypothesis. Underlying all such principles there is a fundamental and primary abduction, a hypothesis which we must embrace at the outset, /1

The truth is that the whole fabric of our knowledge is one matted felt of pure hypothesis confirmed and refined by induction. Not the smallest advance can be made in knowledge beyond the stage of vacant staring, without making an abduction at every step.

#CSPeirce: "True generality is, in fact, nothing but a rudimentary form of true continuity. Continuity is nothing but perfect generality of a law of relationship. It would, therefore, be most contrary to his own principle for the synechist not to generalize from that (1/4)
