The title is from the previous post —

"It’s an aesthetic that presents,
so to speak, just the facts, 
as if the facts themselves weren’t
deeply layered with living history
and crisscrossed with vectors
of divergent ideas and ideals."

— Richard Brody, Thursday, Oct. 26, 2017

From Brody's New Yorker  contributor page —

"Reading List:  Richard Brody recommends
Louis Menand’s “Browbeaten,” about Dwight Macdonald."

From Models and Metaphors , by Max Black,
Cornell University Press, 1962 —

I do not recommend the work of Lewin, nor that of a later
science groupie, Keith Devlin. 

In September 2014, Devlin wrote an ignorant column about
a sort of bad mathematical joke based on a divergent infinite series.

He has now returned to the topic, this time writing more about
its proper mathematical background: analytic continuation .

Lewin is to Devlin as Lévi-Strauss is to Chomsky.
None of these four should be taken very seriously.

Max Black, however, should .

"Cohen’s links to Dylan were obvious—Jewish, literary,
a penchant for Biblical imagery, Hammond’s tutelage—
but the work was divergent. Dylan, even on his earliest
records, was moving toward more surrealist, free-
associative language and the furious abandon of
rock and roll. Cohen’s lyrics were no less imaginative
or charged, no less ironic or self-investigating, but he
was clearer, more economical and formal, more liturgical."

— David Remnick in the Oct. 17, 2016, New Yorker ,
    "Leonard Cohen Makes It Darker." The title refers to
     a new Cohen song.

A phrase from the date of Jungreis's reported death —

The title is a reference to the Chicago character named "Four"
in Veronica Roth's Divergent  series.

Divergent  from Four's point of view . . . ." — Wikipedia
