    That's neat. I don't think I've ever been to those. I went to the Summer Session on Austrian Economics a while ago, but that seems different from these two things.

    I very much want to hear you, but I am afraid that I shall still be in CA during your lectures. Therefore, would you please speak VERY LOUDLY. I'll be listening.

    Gene,

    Wasn't Leonard Read some kind of cult leader? I met Read and thought he was a very skilled verbal manipulator. My impression: Every word he uttered was thought out for manipulative purposes.

    In fact, during a lecture he gave he told us how he attempted to bring conversations around to freedom. Even the strategy he employed, when striking up a conversation with the person next to him while flying first clsss. Read would put the Rockwell/Paul cult leaders to shame.

    Shouldn't you speak out about this?

    Sometimes, we have no ability to do what we want to do, requiem gold is a good choice for you, in here, you can make a decision on whether to buy requiem lant, no one will stop you, and you will feel happy towards requiem money. Do not know if you will agree what I say about cheap requiem lant, but it all does not matter, I just need your requiem online gold support. So, come on!

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

 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...
