La Mott's Number 1 (All truth is a paradox) reminds me of a joke I heard
from a friend in Pittsburgh many years ago:
The most senior rabbi (priest, imam, roshi, whatever) was in the last
moments of his life. All the other rabbis were assembled around his
deathbed. One of the other senior rabbis
I agree. However, Oliver's show is too scripted for my tastes. I like the
risk Maher takes with his format (initial guest, panel, special member of the
panel added later). And although I thought he treated Preet Bharara terribly a
couple of episodes back, it's that "aliveness" that keeps me w
I sometimes find Maher entertaining but John Oliver has a better show in that
it is a synthesis, weaponized to make a point.Oliver's researchers could
probably get a job for Frontline just as well. Maher is more like a show for
venting and schadenfreude -- it is different from a sermon. Y

Thanks for offering up Anne La Mott's clever words here. Whether she
can match FriAM's pedantic dives into obscure (and to some trivial or
irrelevant?) topics is up for question, but she certainly has a much
more humorous delivery than most of us and can be nicely pithy.

individual constitution and personality (and fate?), though the time of

they're far less apathetic, in general, than Xes. There seems to be an interest

I would say any human individual serves multiple genes at once. First the

In a gig economy, I don't see how "serve" is very meaningful, never mind
"worship".
I think the Gen Y folks are right to be (supposedly) selfish and indifferent to
the needs of the organization. No one else will look out for them in the
workforce.

Dear Friammers,
Some of you may remember Paul, who used to join us for a month at a time,
beginning four or five years back. He was a china scholar colleague of mine
at Clark, and eagerly looked forward to coming to FRIAM when he was out
here. I will miss those visits.

Well, there are at least 2 ways I disagree:
1) Any ecological individual serves multiple bodies at once, and
2) Any one can serve different bodies at different moments.
That we serve multiples presents a difference in degree so that there's a
threshold for the number of bodies one serves. Thos
My phone for the past few years has been the Moto X4, which is a good
