Dear Professor Street,

If I may, [good] fiction, as Tolkein brought into figural salience for
all to see, has "the inner consistency of reality."

Thanking you,
Yours truly,

P.S. Regarding "religious wars" alluded to in earlier emails, all
wars, going by one of Kahneman's heuristics, are The USA wars, which
is to say "religious wars" is no different from Chomsky's "colorful
ideas sleep furiously" ;)
P.P.S. In the context of declining trust in science
(https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/8aCtCxngGkfA7pODU8TfhU?domain=science.org), here's one way
to look at it: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/nA5rCyoj8PuM8GnKSMhOe-?domain=philarchive.org.
