Skinner...
I am becoming convinced that Skinner is by far the most existencial and cynical of modern philosophers, and in a certain (conceptual) way is in greater opposition to my theistic beliefs than anything written by Nietzsche, Rand, or even Leo Strauss.

Fascism is Alive and Well →

I don’t understand how the freedom of information act can be used to invade the private transactions of professors, but it has happened several times over the last year or so, and has been...
