    I like From a Distance. I think it sounds something like Pink Floyd, early 1970s, before Dark Side… I don’t know, sometime around Meddle? Bob seems to be the resident music critic, maybe he knows better. Perhaps as a product of the 1970s I think the song needs a guitar solo. Without some demonstration of musicianship, it just “seems to keep going.” Show your chops.

    My eight year old liked the I Walk A Little video. He thinks the singer looks younger in this video, and he likes seeing people do flips. The reason I invited him into my office to watch the videos was to show him the mustache. Earlier today he told me that he wants a goatee when he’s older, not an imperial. I was impressed, he really did say “a goatee, not an imperial” so I asked him what he thought of the singer’s facial hair. He reiterated that he wants a goatee, not an imperial.

    This non-producer thought the production of both videos was pretty damn good.

    Mrs. Hymn, they were all so stunned (except for Woody) that they could not comment.

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...
