What I'm thinking about now

If you see me in a nightclub or a coffee shop, ask me about the following:

Author intent, the philology of classical works, and fanfiction. Is the spectre of Derrida haunting tvtropes.org?
...
The need for philosophers in the modern world. Why everyone thinks they can think but no one does.
...
Euripides as the preincanation of Alan Ginsberg. The Bachae as a prophesy of the sixties counter culture movment; "Tune in, turn on, drop out" and Dionysus as the god of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. How Ginsberg's Howl is the primordial scream of Pan down the dusty centuries.
...
Fictional continuities, 'verses, and Tarski's universes of discourse.
...
Why we need both professional saints and professional villans in modern life, and what Thích Quảng Đức can teach us about people whose role it is in life to be good.
...
The philosophic flight, and why Uzzah doesn't necessarily believe those things he believed a year ago.
...
Subjective vs. objective value, how what we desire conflicts with what Ayn Rand says we value. How social psycholgy and evolutionary anthropology may hold an answer.
...
Why Dan Brown isn't worthy to shine Umberto Eco's shoes, and what might happen if we splice Neil Gaiman's DNA with Kenneth Hite's.
..
And further ruminations on the no time limit thunderdome death match between Nietzsche and the Buddha: is suffering a thing to be avoided?

All this and Mandlebrot Baroque, coming to Et in Arcadia Ego...
