Too soon to evaluate this, but at least the Destroyer armor at the end is perfect.
Tonight’s “Mystery Guest” at Mises U. was Andrew Napolitano.
As William Gillis points out, two important histories of individualist anarchism in the u.s. are now online: Eunice Schuster’s (confusingly titled) Native American Anarchism (1932) and Rudolf Rocker’s Pioneers of American Freedom (1949). These join James Martin’s (sexistly titled) Men Against the State (1953) and William Reichert’s Partisans of Freedom (1976), already online, making a nice quartet.
In related news, Mises.org just put up an article on Sam Konkin by Jeff Riggenbach.

In related news, AU’s 3rd annual philosophy conference (3-5 March 2010) will also be devoted to Wiggy.
Finally, here’s one of Wiggy’s central insights set to music:
I’m back from Bryn Mawr. It was a great conference; but no rest for me: Mises U. begins tonight!
The shuttle from Atlanta was fuller than usual last night; and given that the passengers were all talking about praxeology, nullification, and central banking, I suspect I know what they’re in town for.
This looks like it might be fun. Helen Mirren’s character seems like she could be River Song’s mom.

The Empirical Me
I’m Roderick T. Long, Professor of Philosophy at Auburn University. I’m an Aristotelean/Wittgensteinian in philosophy and a left-libertarian market anarchist in social theory. (More about me here.) This blog, Austro-Athenian Empire, is a continuation of my earlier blog, archived here.
