ARI’s online version of “The Objectivist Ethics,” about whose incompleteness I previously plained, now finally appears to be complete – except that most of the footnotes are missing, including an important one on teleology.
So why is it that ARI still can’t manage to post Rand’s most important article without screwing it up? I mean, they’ve got a decent-sized budget and staff, plus this stuff is holy writ to them – so you’d think they’d have both the means and the motivation to get it right.
The Art of the Possible blog has disappeared. Google doesn’t have a cache of it, and the Internet Archive doesn’t either. I don’t have final copies of any of the essays I wrote for it – and they’re some of my favourites. Help! Any suggestions? (I’ve written to the blog host, but I’ve had trouble reaching him in the past.)
Dave Nolan, founder of the LP, is not happy with Bob Barr.
So, who’s the sadist who edited this interview to make it even more wince-inducing than it already was?
Oh, hey. More conflation debate: P. M. Lawrence vs. Stephan Kinsella vs. Kevin Carson – and still more evidence that some serious fnords are afoot in this debate.
I’ve previously mentioned my annoyance at discovering, only after leaving Athens’ National Archeological Museum, that it houses the Antikythera mechanism (whose image graces my former blog’s archive page) and I’d somehow missed it.
As though to rub it in, now comes this story (conical hat tip to LRC) featuring a picture of the mechanism clearly on display in a hall of the museum, as if to say “how could you miss me?”
