  • Projects and Rejects

    Projection often requires rejection. If I take up one project, let me interject for conjecture sake, I must reject another, at least for a juncture of time. If I inject, into my schedule a new project, something is ejected from the slot where I have placed the new variable. What I am saying is that…
