Feb 11– From Discourse on Method by Decartes (1637), translated by John Veitch (probably)
Summary: French dude with a massive ego strokes it for 10 pages or so.
Commentary: Seriously, this is just alternating between false modesty and declarations that he's learned everything there is to learn. On the other hand, he calls poetry "Poesy" and I think we should bring that back. Also, sociopathic ramblings about architecture that I think are supposed to be a metaphor for destroying society to install an omnipotent dictator.
