Oh, so there is evidence of a long-running intellectual tradition that is against the war-thing in Libya: "This war is stupid and dangerous for all," writes Umberto Eco in a letter to the IHT, what must be his shortest and most-straightforward declaration of all time. (And also an attack on Bernard-Henri Lévy.)
Apparently the IHT cut the sentence "And what's in it for us, anyhow?" for redundancy.
A war planned by French pop philosophers, what could possibly go wrong? I wonder what Dr. Phil thinks about our involvement in Yemen?
My dad gave me a copy of The Pendulum last spring and I have been reluctant to read it as it sort of seems like the same old cliche conspiracy stuff. And input/advice? Should I read it??
Read it. It's more about Kabblah and the nature of storytelling and creativity than about conspiracies.
Which isn't to say there are none at all. But that doesn't make it like Da Winky Code. (Note: I have never read Dan Brown, because really.)
Alain Badiou agrees.
