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
That's it?
ReplyDeleteYou should have kept it a mystery.
Cool, I didn't realize you had so many co-authors. But I think you struck a low blow with this one:
ReplyDelete“Histoy Is Not Geography: A Critique of Jared Diamond,” forthcoming from Imprint Academics, volume of papers from 2006 Michael Oakeshott Association Conference.
Diamond overreaches at times, I grant you, but I seriously doubt he claimed that geography was his toy.
Dr. Murray, lot's of hot air and no action -- I asked you where you had published months ago, and we ain't seen shit yet.
ReplyDeleteBob, don't you remember the day you called me "the slut of the Austrian economics world"?
ReplyDeleteFunny you bring my publshing up. I am currently reading Economics for Real People.
ReplyDeleteAnd my review of it will appear in a major publiication:)
Oh yeah...I'm glad I didn't recycle the joke!
ReplyDeleteA scholarly journal, Dr. Murray? And that's all you have to offer?
ReplyDeleteHey, I know of people who have published far more than me, but I'm pretty happy with what I've put out in about 5 years of scholarly work. If you have just this one publication, what in the world would prompt you to ask me if "that's it"?
Dr. Murray, put up or shut up!
For what it's worth, I thought Dr. T was making a joke. It may not have been very funny, but then neither was I when I called Stephan an "ass" on the other thread.
ReplyDeleteAnd anyway, a book review doesn't count. You're supposed to keep those clearly marked on your CV because other people will laugh at you if you try to pass off a book review as a publication in the journal listed.
Final point (for now): And what's really funny, is Dr. T. proving he's a bigger scholar than Gene, by saying he is working on a review of...Gene's book.
ReplyDeleteI'm not mocking you in this paragraph, Dr. T. Are you really a doctor, and of what? I can't remember if I already asked you this on the "Gene's a loser" thread...
The page is so wonderful that I want to write something about myself.
ReplyDeleteI get a lot of rohan crone and the rohan gold is very important for anyone who wants to play the net game. Most of the rohan online croneis the access to the net game. If you have the rohan online gold, you can make good use of the rohan moneyto enjoy yourself in the game.
