Been catching up on the philosophy blogs. Very different than flipping through the digital sheaf of paleontology blogs with a steaming cup of imaginary tea at my elbow and the poetry of the newest scientific names playing across my daydream, or the champagne-bubble multi-tier mega-high of the astrophysics blogs. More like shoving a nitro-cold brew IV needle into my left tear duct and watching people who didn't hear about Aristotle until college writhe their way out of their translucent egg chambers, slippery with the latest discursive fashions. The price of having one's game up to par.

This thing, exhumed by chance, is the most stimulating thing I read on the web all summer, and it is sixteen years old. Things uploaded to the internet during this frontier period have a certain prescience to them, I find, and this is a prime example.
