1397 [lbo-talk] What Have We Learned, If Anything? -- rank: 300

1398 [lbo-talk] Re: Chomsky on sociobiology -- rank: 300

What Arash writes below is correct. I hasten to add, though, that Pinker et al. are right--if Chomsky's view of our capacity for language is correct (and most everyone agrees it's roughly right), then the evolutionary explanation of its origin will involve adaptation after adaptation. Given that Chomsky ...

1399 [lbo-talk] To each according to work -- rank: 300

The world is full of Wallys (the deadwood character in the comic strip Dilbert). We all work with some of them. At the risk of being humorless, I can't see how this can be a fundamental principle of social philosophy. If we allow the Wallys to self-select, this will ...

1400 [lbo-talk] To each according to work -- rank: 300

I don't pretend that there are easy decisions, but it's not the quality of the literature that is at stake but the nature of the activity. A teacher of literature may be pulling his weight by reading Horace or indeed John Grishma. A goofoff may be goofing off, as ...

1403 [lbo-talk] Hayek is _Ours_) (Was Re: Fitch and Brenner) -- rank: 300

Please read Hayek (well worth while), not in the same boat, probably not even on the same planet, at Friedman. No maths. No equilibrium. Despite some table poundung, no opposition to social democracy or planning where it would work -- just generaly thought it wouldn't. Question came up at a seminar ...

1409 [lbo-talk] The Left has more than enough mystique and values, but lacks discipline and accountability -- rank: 300

Wow, promises vs. results and folks losing their jobs for not achieving desired results... how staggeringly neoliberal of you. Promises vs results independent of who made the promises and whether or not the results were reasonable (or even rational?) So, you think that school principals who are made to promise - and ...
