Bertie and Trips

[Charles F. Albert]

Could he have had other motives than shared philosophy?
I only took math for poets in college but what I do recall (probably 
in error) is that Russell tried to create a comprehensive system 
bereft of chaos.
Hasn't P's point been that all such systems are illusions, or at the 
very least, faith placed in such is misguided? If so, wouldn't the 
most celebrated expression of the obverse be of considerable 
interest?
Oh am i gonna get my ass kicked,
