Mungerruns: The Awesome Epochal DART Hiking Expedition

http://mungerruns.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-awesome-epochal-dart-hiking.html

Tuesday, June 25, 2013. The Awesome Epochal DART Hiking Expedition. As the DART Hiking Trip was in its late planning stages, a thought occurred to me.

The First New Atheist. 200 years after his birth, Kierkegaard’s philosophies are more relevant than ever. His likeness in Copenhagen. This caused him to fight with his fellow Danes and anyone else who got in his way. He became an object of ridicule around Copenhagen. The local papers made fun of him for his hunched back and clubbed foot. He wrote many books under various false names, most of which were ignored. He died in relative obscurity at the age of 42. The New York Times. Sam Harris, for instance, ...
