Blogroll Changes

By -
Two changes on the sidebar:
1) Crash Landing welcomes the Collingwood/Oakeshott scholar Chris Rolliston to our blogroll with his blog A Single World of Ideas; and
2) We've dropped No Treason from the list, because they haven't posted nuttin' since September.

    Cheers for the link. By the way, would you know of someone who might post a comment under the name "Nick Danger"? (WHOIS suggests he posts from Northampton Community College.)

    Hah, Chris, I can show you a picture of the fellow right here. An old nemesis of mine.

    Chris, one "Nick Danger" is Robert Hahn, a war- and big-government-loving "conservative" behind Freeper and RedState.

    Tom, that's surely a bogus Nick Danger, and I'm sure I've linked to the real one!

    Gene, since I'm afraid to quibble, let me ask a question: can you clarify in what sense the Nick Danger you know is an "old" nemesis (and even a nemesis, as opposed to, say, a daughter)?

    I totally deny any knowledge of who that "Nick Danger" daughter of mine is!

Libertarians, My Libertarians!

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 .

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.

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...
