Ron Paul Dreamin'

James Ostrokowski:
"Of course, I care about Florida only as it affects the Revolution. Oddly enough, regardless of who wins tonight, there are positive ramifications for Ron Paul.

"If McCain wins, then Romney is toast and we can start the one-on-one against a candidate with a long list of flaws.

"If Romney wins, the race remains chaotic and unpredictable with a deadlocked convention at least possible. A Romney win gives Huckabee some encouragement so he will stay in and split the delegates in Southern states. Also, if Romney wins, McCain and Huckabee will have difficulty raising money which also helps Ron Paul."

OK, so McCain has won. If everyone else is really done, then you can tally all of their voters in his column, and the Florida results read:

McCain 97%
Paul 3%

So now let's start "one-on-one against a candidate with a long list of flaws." With his current lead, I think we can catch him by the 2060 election!

    That's ridiculous. If you'd taken away the other candidates Paul would have gotten at least 4% of the vote.

    At least.

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...
