Are you talking about philosophy or the committee?

And courtesy of shweta_narayan, the webcomic that ate my life yesterday: Family Man. The Enlightenment! Judaism! University politics! Theological debates! In-jokes about Ovid! In-jokes about Rousseau! Careful research of taxonomically appropriate pine trees! Our half-Jewish protagonist just tried to defend a dissertation on Spinoza at Göttingen in 1768. The werewolves at his new lectureship are the least of his problems.

In the meantime, Kate Beaton has been reviewed by The Economist.

I am not doing anything near that interesting today. I still have this book, though.

It looks as if that's another comic I'll have to be careful about reading.*

I'm pleased with the Kate Beaton review. First The Economist, then the world.

I hope it's a pleasant day despite not being near so interesting.

I still have this book, though.

It's a good one.

*IOW, I suspect I'd like it.

Well, only if you don't want to be educated about eighteenth-century academia.

First The Economist, then the world.

I want that as a slogan.

Well, only if you don't want to be educated about eighteenth-century academia.

The problem is that I also need to be educated about other things as well. Or at least to pay attention to them.

I want that as a slogan.

I doubt I'm the first to say it, but to whatever degree it is mine to give you may now consider it your very own slogan.
