I think I finally figured out the point of icons and how they are related to Eastern asceticism. It sort of justifies the 8 million hours I have spent on this independent study. And justifies the practice of assigning papers. And kind of makes me feel silly for not figuring this out before. Pavel Evdokimov, if you had only learned the concept of connecting your ideas with meaningful logical transitions, this could have happened so long ago. I don't think the sense of how pleased I am at the moment is coming throught here.
Okay, now I just have to write a paper of indeturminate length about this. But maybe it will never get written. But that would be okay, because this whole process has still had a point.
