Being Bob's Wife

By Rachael Anne -
This morning, I signed onto the Internet to see what songs are being done in the early and later services at church. Almost the instant I signed on (on Bob's computer), a Yahoo IM window popped up. Here is the conversation:

noanthraxvaccine: Dr. Murphy!
bob: who is this?
noanthraxvaccine: I agree with your commentary on free trade
noanthraxvaccine: my name is Mark
noanthraxvaccine: but I think a couple lines you used when repudiating Paul Craig Roberts were misplaced
noanthraxvaccine: when is employment worse than unemployment?
noanthraxvaccine: when it is misemployment, where not are only are they non-producers, but they are siphoning resources away from productive outlets, i.e., government and government subsidized employees
noanthraxvaccine: so your statement about school teachers and health industry jobs was misplaced, I think
bob: mark, this is Rachael Murphy, Bob's wife. why don't you just send him an email?
noanthraxvaccine: okay, sorry
noanthraxvaccine: i love Bob
noanthraxvaccine: i read his commentary a lot
bob: me too
noanthraxvaccine: im a fellow disciple of the Austrian school of economics
bob: ah

It was just so funny how this guy seemed so excited Bob signed onto IM, and then we wound up talking about how we both love Bob. Ah, me.

    I know, I know. This is so cool that sometimes I troll message boards pretending to be Bob's wife.

Libertarians, My Libertarians!

Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas --  unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.

"Pre-Galilean" Foolishness

By -
 I am currently reading The Master and His Emissary , which appears to be an excellent book. ("Appears" because I don't know the neuroscience literature well enough to say for sure, yet.) But then on page 186 I find: "Asking cognition, however, to give a perspective on the relationship between cognition and affect is like asking astronomer in the pre-Galilean geocentric world, whether, in his opinion, the sun moves round the earth of the earth around the sun. To ask a question alone would be enough to label one as mad." OK, this is garbage. First of all, it should be pre-Copernican, not pre-Galilean. But much worse is that people have seriously been considering heliocentrism for many centuries before Copernicus. Aristarchus had proposed a heliocentric model in the 4th-century BC. It had generally been considered wrong, but not "mad." (And wrong for scientific reasons: Why, for instance, did we not observe stellar parallax?) And when Copernicus propose...
