https://adversecity.wordpress.com/2013/09
Oran Kelley's Adverse City. In the Way far north of Michiagn, one man tries to keep his grip on sanity and his connection to civilization. Monthly Archives: September 2013. The Two Culture Again . . . again. Now this whole thread of writings and counter-writings around the idea of the relationship between the disciplines–science and the humanities, specifically–comes out of a Steven Pinker article in the New Republic. The article is a rambling advocacy piece for science as against the humanities. But at ...

Oran Kelley's Adverse City. In the Way far north of Michiagn, one man tries to keep his grip on sanity and his connection to civilization. Monthly Archives: November 2013. The problem with The Trolley Problem. For instance in this piece Wright prominent features the work of Joshua Greene, who has helped make the Trolley Problem–an ethical thought experiment–famous.

Oran Kelley's Adverse City. In the Way far north of Michiagn, one man tries to keep his grip on sanity and his connection to civilization. Slow going . . . Just a brief note of explanation. I’ve found Pascal Boyer’s Religion Explained. 8211;that many of the arguments get presented in such a way as they are nothing but epiphenomena of Boyer’s own argument. Lastly, I get the feeling that over the course of the book he might return to some topics to treat them in greater detail, so I’m reluctant to at...

Oran Kelley's Adverse City. In the Way far north of Michiagn, one man tries to keep his grip on sanity and his connection to civilization. Monthly Archives: October 2011. Joe Nocera, perhaps, is too kindly a man to suggest the reason for his disappointment. It’s not in the author (still the same dispenser of “dutiful, lumbering American news-mag journalese” (Sam Leith) he ever was). It’s not the difficulties of contemporary biography itself. It’s the subject. Steve Jobs is quite simply not. Before ventur...

Oran Kelley's Adverse City. In the Way far north of Michiagn, one man tries to keep his grip on sanity and his connection to civilization. Monthly Archives: October 2010. Thomas Friedman has an editorial in today’s New York Times about the decline of the two-party system and the possible rise of a new third party in the next round of presidential elections. A third party that would say. This refers back to a passage he quotes from Lewis Mumford:. There are a number of big problems with Friedman’s a...

Oran Kelley's Adverse City. In the Way far north of Michiagn, one man tries to keep his grip on sanity and his connection to civilization. 8211;as proof there aren’t two cultures, are completely missing the point. Haldane and Snow were exceptional. Snow didn’t argue that it was impossible to inhabit both cultures–being who he was, how could he? 8211;only that it was not the norm. And, worse still from Swift’s point of view, science is increasingly the arbiter of truth in our society. But not the only one...
