For a giggle, check out this critique (CHT Brandon) of my recent immigration post, by a “John J. Ray, M.A., Ph.D.” (Yes, he’s one of those.) The best bit is when the guy infers my deranged mental state from my picture. Yes, this picture. René Allendy, move over!
"Austro" as in Rothbard and Wittgenstein, "Athenian" as in Aristotle and smashing-the-plutocracy.
About Roderick T. Long
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.
I think this is where Tim Sandefur says “Fuck off, man, I’m workin’ this side of the street.”
What do you expect from a website that features a hammer and sickle in place of the C in ACLU?
Your comment that you left on his blog made him look like an idiot. lol
Roderick:
Maybe he believes that your post is part of the development of a tragic tale tending unswervingly to nothing less than a moral apotheosis. Had our demented diarist gone, in the fatal summer of 2011, to a competent psychopathologist, there would have been no disaster; but then, neither would there have been this blog.
My theory: the guy’s a fan of Hugo Gernsback-era science fiction, when Miles J. Breuer, M.D., David H. Keller, M.D. and Edward E. Smith, Ph.D. used their degrees in the bylines for their magazine stories to make the point that it wasn’t beneath academics to write for the genre.
Maybe he’s related to H.M. Wogglebug, T.E.?
