Gross and Conspicuous Error No. 4

Lyrics

Reductionist empiricist Without specificity or a Bruce Boice's junior executive Tough wunderkind Version of Juddian specificity Establishes particularity but mystifies it So too denies particularity and totality Thus it plays into the hands of cultural mandarins Rationally self-interested reductionist empiricists Like artists Have minor detail adjustment free will Insofar as they remain self-interested, alone And without the class — for itself — struggle Capitalist cognition must be denied For the dialectical form of particular in totality Deadly and monotic Fragmented minds transfixed By the law of contradiction P or not P You or me, not you and me can be struggled against By first seeing mind's self as a social institution And historical process component of historical reality Again, assurance is based on Not the G&CE of aggrandizing and individuating self But on developing significant organizational forms
