    What makes it even more painful is that two of my debunkers appear to have actually read the book.

    Oh jeez! I can't believe I forgot that you check this blog all the time. Umm, I didn't agree with your book. There, I said it.

    Well, when someone tries to defend the labor theory of value... well, they desserve what they get.

    That's OK, Bob--I didn't expect a symposium issue full of reviews by people who agreed with me. But I do appreciate the fact that you and Roderick Long actually appear to have read the damn book before reviewing it, and bothered to thoughtfully engage the arguments. (No implied commentary on the other reviewers is intended by my omission.)

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

 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...
