Mark Skousen, Enterpriser

Say what you will about Mark Skousen, he's a showman. He came into our office today and handed me a business card talking about Freedom Fest. It's going to be in Vegas on 7-7-7, will feature 77 speakers, and will have over 777 attendees (according to the card). I think it's catchy.

    7 = 7
    77 = 7 x 11
    777 = 3 x 7 x 37 (!)
    7777 = 7 x 11 x 101
    77777 = 7 x 41 x 271

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

 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.
