The neoplatonists and Heraclitus are frankly very structured. Their "monism" isn't a problem because of that. I'm fine with them, but not with how they think it's monism. The issue is the monism talk, and Parmenides is more consistently and truly monist than them. And that's the problem with Parmenides as I said. Pluralism is the way to go.

I have Peirce's collected writings but it doesn't have his paper on the first/second/third categories but I downloaded a pdf to check out. I like Peirce from what I've read but some bits I don't like, mainly the infinite semiosis and pragmatic theory of truth, the rest sounds interesting, I have my own other sources to draw inspiration from but I'd be happy to investigate Peirce more if you have advice.

Bertrand Russell was a very nice and encouraging man who liked daring untamed geniuses, but they all turned on him because people with that personality type are usually assholes and bite the hand that feeds them.
