  1. Wife would like to make a distinction between really stupid people (generally nice) and those who should know better (willfully oblivious).
  2. @pattondodd Make that "New Religious Humanists" of course.
  3. @pattondodd One reprint is in Wolfe's New Cx Humanists, but I expect is also in his Genesis book, which is on my list to read.
  4. @pattondodd Probably so. He was a good Catholic. But I'm under-read in McLuhan despite all my connections and interest.
  5. @pattondodd Hm. Sounds promising. Thanks! Did you see Leon Kass on Babel? Excellent stuff on this same theme.
  6. @hlinefracture I would like to affirm this inclination. @skedman
  7. @pattondodd Can hardly blame you for the reaction. Now I need to remember what sparked the thought.
  8. @pattondodd Ha. Actually, no, fiction is good. But more specific would be more helpful. Need for curriculum!
  9. @pattondodd Thanks. Hey -- have you run across anybody who writes about that?
  10. @SeagullFountain This is why. http://bit.ly/6kAqAN
  11. @dreamingbig My 4.5-yo is a superhero robot.
  12. This 1998 interview with David Gelernter is spectacular. http://bit.ly/5sG2OO Thanks @culturemaking for sparking the search.
  13. @beckfromfrogandtoad Isn't fairy art bad by definition?
  14. @adamsmchugh Oh, that. Understandable given their premises.
  15. @adamsmchugh Funny. What do the traditionalists (one presumes) not like (or perhaps not get)?
  16. Human limits are an underappreciated good.
  17. @MaryLUE I'm sure she will once she wakes up. :)
  18. Put rest of family to bed. Longish day. I blame videos.
  19. @MaryLUE I have comments on this if interested later today. It could be nicely countercultural. Chesterton would have approved.
  20. Doing without overpriced Dreamweaver has been good for my coding but I miss automated footnote handling.
