I was berating myself for waffling and sometimes I correctly said “the finished product” and sometimes I mis-said “the finished project”, in an episode of Egodeath Mystery Show, when reading from presumably a transcription of Panofsky’s’s second letter to Wasson.
Evidently it’s not my fault; it’s Brown’s fault:
there is an error of transcription: Brown on page 144 misquotes Panofsky’s second letter as saying “the finished project”.
I was scathingly mocking Panofsky based on that word ‘project’; I thought Panofsky was saying that the artist was so non-sentient of a broken-down human copy machine, that he didn’t know that he drew a mushroom until after the fresco painting *project* was finished.
product = the final form of the alleged distorted pine templates, Panofsky asserted & wrote, against Browns’ error of transcription.
I am now recording maybe a short casual Episode of Egodeath Mystery Show where I talk about Browns’ inadequate criticism: there is a lot worse, much worse content in the two letters, and Wasson’s terrible abuse of these letters and censorship and misrepresentation for the purpose of deceit and to avoid academic discussion and prevent it from occurring, but instead try to maliciously redirect the discussion, to become a argument from authority and name-calling and insults instead, because Wasson knew they would get their ass handed to them in an actual academic investigation.
Such a bona fide critical academic investigation would prove, against Brinckmann’s “little” 1906 book, that the mushrooms mean mushrooms.
I thought the word ‘project’ was present and that it referred to the finished painting at Plaincourault Chapel.
but at that time I’m sure I was reading browns’ misquote of Panofsky.
I tell you, this proves you’ve got to go back to the source! just like Irvin & I kept learning re Wasson vs Allegro.
back to the sources!
you’ve got to look at the photograph; you need to read from the photograph of the letters – I processed them to make them much sharper, for my own copies of them; clearer than the original photographs.
do not trust what Wasson claims Panofsky wrote!!
do not trust what Brown claims that Panofsky wrote, either!
also what my discovery shows again is that, besides my discovery of Brown’s error that changes the meaning of what Panofsky asserted, what his argument is, my discovery here proves once more that:
reading aloud is the best way to find errors in writing.
