Look: I am eager to learn stuff I don't know--which requires actively courting and posting smart disagreement.

But as you will understand, I don't like to post things that mischaracterize and are aimed to mislead.

Life is Short

Michaels Berube, one of the 100 most dangerous academics in America is shutting down his blog - again, and closes out with a touching tribute to a dear friend.

It's a rather long post, but moving, beautiful, and well worth the few minutes that reading it will take.

Go.  Read it.  Now.
