Nice poin'.He did pretty well. And that was the period for doing that kind of thing. I think however, the war-to-end-all intruded pretty much on that particular spin of the 'revision thing' - and relativity made that simple fall of finding something seem - I don't know - a little slower that light.
If you were to look at the 'drug thing' from that particular perspective, it would seem inevitable. But it always is, I guess.
The naturalists of the period and just after . . . who's the 'lives of the cell' guy? . . . jumped up on this.
And you could look at 'Leaves of Grass' which really was a sock in the eye, as an early foray. Kierkegard, I'm thinking. But that brings us back to Plato.
That old cave, those old chains, those old shadows . . .
