Re: Dan Dennett and Bob
Wonderment, I had a similar life experience with religion (happy childhood, friendly divorce) and yet I have a good deal more antipathy for religion than you. I'd be surprised if we are terribly...

Re: Dan Dennett and Bob
Then again, once you go into the history books to quote philosophers you are going to end up reading from people who lived in societies steeped in religion. I wonder how people a hundred years from...

Dan Dennett and Bob
Based on Bob's comments here, I'll have to agree with Dennett's description of Bob - a Mysterian. Really Bob... you can call yourself an "agnostic" but it sure seems like you are a hopeful agnostic!...

Inter-glacials
While it makes intuitive sense that ag would have arisen during an inter-glacial, when world-wide climate would have hosted many more opportunities for it, I still have a problem understanding why it...

Goldie Hawn
Not "Smother's Brothers", Bob. "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In". Unless she made some one-time appearance on SB that I don't recall.
Yes, Brendan, I'm showing it again...

Re: Brushes with Greatness

John Horgan had some disparaging words for EP as well. I guess Bob hasn't mailed his last few paychecks?

Re: The Death of Media
Bob - just do it for humanity and quit trying to make a buck that isn't coming. Maybe you will eventually be a big draw on the speaking circuit.

I take no offense...

Why does Bob pronounce it 'con-in-drum instead of cuh-'nun-drum? Is that a Texas thing?

Re: Answers to the Riddle
Your 2nd answer could be (should be) close. Yet I have the feeling the answer may lie, not in The Moral Animal, but in Non-Zero.
