Yes, we do.

" 'Desertion' is the perfect story to make my case
that 1940s science fiction was often about the next
evolutionary step for our species." — James Wallace Harris, 9/18/21

From https://classicsofsciencefiction.com on Sept. 18, 2021 —

In “Paradise,” the mutants are that superior species,
ones who are waiting for normal humans to get their
act together. Mutants arrange for Tyler Webster 
to get a kaleidoscope that will trick his brain into
opening its higher functionality. The kaleidoscope
is like the toys from the future in “Mimsy Were the
Borogoves” that trigger evolution in normal human
children.

From Log24 on October 25, 2013 —

Rhetorical questions by art critic Michael Glover—

“Has this kind of abstraction to do with ideas
of the spiritual? Are we supposed to see behind
what we have here some kind of evidence of
superhuman energies at work in the universe?
Is this some kind of manifestation of the force
that through the green fuse drives the flower—
to quote a line from Dylan Thomas?”

Rhetorical answer —

“It’s 2184 pages long.”

"I know then that the story is there, buried in what I call
my magma. It’s absolute chaos but the novel is in there,
lost in a mass of dead elements, superfluous scenes
that will disappear or scenes that are repeated several
times from different perspectives, with different characters.
It’s very chaotic and makes sense only to me. But the story
is born under there."

— Mario Vargas Llosa, interviewed in The Paris Review ,
Issue 116, Fall 1990

Vargas Llosa is the author of "Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter."

A later article about this same William Boyd —

"In the end, it’s this indifference on the part of the tastemakers
that makes Boyd’s project a worthy one, pointing as it does to
their ability to treat as real whatever they choose, and to deny
the reality of other things simply by redirecting their gaze."

A scholium on the previous post, "Mother Ship Meets Mother Church" —

"Consider Saint Hedwig of Silesia (1174–1243), for example,
who is elegantly depicted in this catalogue, striking a pose
with her prayer book, rosary, and Virgin and child statue
(a reminder of the legitimacy of her sex), along with boots
slung over her elbow so she could walk barefoot like
the apostles. Between miracles, she was also known to 
supervise con­struction of new convents. Hedwig is but
a snowflake on the iceberg  of the extra­ordinary role of
actual women in the Middle Ages, to which more evidence
is added continually thanks the Feminae database."

— From "Wonder Women," by Matthew J. Milliner

"She wrote her doctoral thesis, which was supervised
by Friedrichs, on the stability of a spherical implosion
and was awarded her Ph.D. in 1951."

Update of 2:56 PM ET Friday, August 11, 2017 —

Legacy.com and NYU now report that Morawetz died
on Tue., Aug. 8, not, as the AMS reported, on Mon., Aug. 7.
(The AMS has now corrected its error.)

For sloppiness about mathematics that echoes this
sloppiness about dates, see a post of Tue., Aug. 8.

Excerpt from the above story —

"The project could also be a new frontier for Mr. Koons.
'It’s superconceptual,' said Judith Benhamou-Huet,
a French art critic and blogger, in that 'he’s giving
the concept but not the realization.' She compared
the approach to that of Sol LeWitt, who sold wall drawings
that buyers then executed on their own."

Seymour Lazar, Flamboyant Entertainment Lawyer, Dies at 88

The New York Times  this evening has an obituary for Seymour Lazar, 
"Seymour the Head in Supermoney , George Goodman’s 1972 account
of the global financial game, written under the pen name Adam Smith."

From that obituary —

"It was in Cuernavaca that Mr. Goodman, quite skeptical of the Lazar lore
he had heard so much of, met the man behind the myth. 'Seymour was
real,' he wrote…."

As is the Hungarian algorithm.

Mr. Lazar reportedly died on March 30. This journal on that date —
