Inherent Vice: On 'the map is not the territory' and a t-shirt

[Mark Kohut]

I believe the Korzybski allusion is a read strrreettttch here........
As logic, the aphorism applies more literally

BUT if Mr. Logic Subverter TRP willfully tried the stretching,
i'd argue it is a secondary association to something about
photographs, sex--pussies-- in the open (in the sixties), and
women-collecting by reduction to their sex organ.............

the Korzybski reference was yet another thing I missed in my IV
reading (was probably grossed out by the neckties and flinched
briefly)

also, noting, some pretty profound and useful concepts were introduced
to us in high school by those underpaid heroes (I don't hink Doc went
to college, or was there a reference to community college somewhere?)

the roaming stars." - Michael Moorcock
