The Blank Slate and ECR

I'm just finishing up The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature and I think I can declare it one of the small collection of brilliant syntheses that has shaped my thinking. I'll add it to the list I'm making for a new humanities curriculum.

ECR class night tonight was okay; met dhbearguy and talked to excessor a lot about the upcoming IBR. I got a room for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights and I'm treating it as an exotic vacation to Bearland, with a nearby Golds so I don't miss my workouts. excessor warned me that registration was closing in a few days, but luckily I've already paid for mine on the web. The website has a few inaccuracies, and I'd have hated to have waited to register at the door and discover that I couldn't.

handlebear attended but couldn't dance. nanocub monopolized his scalp-rubbing services.
