blogroll |
Fri, 28 Jan 2005 My blogroll has been updated with two new additions. The first is Captain Sam Makes a Generalization—it's Captain Sam in all his glory! Let's hope he puts in some choice nuggets about Asian women and orgo recitation instructors. I'm sure he will; he's a big boy. The other one is Left2Right, a blog written jointly by a couple dozen people, all of whom seem to be philosophy or poli sci professors. Among them is none other than MIT's own Joshua Cohen, the professor from whom I took 24.04J (a.k.a. 17.01J). Larry Bacow once described Professor Cohen as one of the three smartest professors at the Institute. Since I can't imagine how one can possibly evaluate intelligence precisely enough to make such a claim, or indeed how you compare the intelligence of a political science professor to that of a member of the electrical engineering faculty, it's almost certainly the case that what Bacow meant (whether he knew it or not) was that he is a most impressive rhetoritician, conversationalist, and lecturer. I know I don't disagree with the latter, and it bodes well for his posts at Left2Right. (As you might guess by the name, Left2Right is a blog where (politically) left-minded thinkers make arguments whose intended audience is the right. (Note also that this parenthetical contains (other) nested parentheticals. Wow.)) Anyway, enough of my drivel. Go read them.
