I had to show this to my wife and ask her if I'm slipping towards extravagant academic hair (it's pretty out of control at times, but mostly on weekends). She reassured me that we've seen extravagant academic hair, and this little rats nest ain't it.
Steven Pinker is the King of Academic Hair. Dr. Pinkerstein even has downloadable images on his Harvard page in different sizes and resolutions in case you want to see every last detail of every crazy curl.
His hair reminds me of Michael Hardt. Felix Guattari, though deceased, is still a role model of academic hair. Alternatively, Brian Massumi is pioneering the 'wild man' philosophical hair; a modern interpretation of Nietzsche's wild lochs, I think.
Sounds very philosophical.

Funny.
Sounds raucous.

You listening, Wolfson?

Ah, but I am not demonstrably smarter than FL, so I figure I'll get an even peachier plum than he has!

The W hating left is beyond help.
I suggest/propose free birth control for dogs, cats and the W hating fuckbots.
Watermelons and McVeigh=One and the same stupid thinking.

This is what I get for spacing out for a week -- next time you're in Boston, Fontana, give a holler.
And happy New Year to all.

Also note David Chalmers.

Derek Parfit, more 70s than Chalmers?

hit a nearby bar with the old grad school cronies. Some of these guys are as-yet unemployed, so I put everyone on my tab.
That settles it--you weren't anyone I hung out with. I am not getting into the rest of this discussion.

Will do, Ben A. And thanks for those hot Warhol pics.
