My brain itches. Will you scratch it?

Got an email from Philip Dawdy about academic freedom. I then spent the next several hours reading transcripts, articles and assorted documentation, and have concluded that I can no more encapsulate this story than turn water into wine. Please refer to his website for what’s an extremely interesting and confounding discussion, including a subplot about Munchausen’s By Proxy — a diagnosis that I don’t think is ENTIRELY unwarranted, at least not if you have a Jewish mother.

Note to editor: no more instead of know more.

Oh, that brain scratching is a tricky business – it can have many serious side effects. It’s best used only as a last resort after first trying other, less extreme measures – like brain rubbing or MST (mild-shaking-therapy).
