What are we talking about? As I recall, there is some problem with Weeks

In my post I said that Weeks, in his book, was "indirectly
attacking Marxism as a whole."
I think it is possible for someone who is intellectually
honest, and inte
I would have thought that the most substantial critique
of cartesian dualism comes from modern neurophysiology.
I'll be teaching an undergraduate comparative systems course for the first
time in the spring, and would appreciate any suggestions as to texts, and/or
reading lists that penners have used.
Unless you think this might be of general interest, please reply directly to

A quick answer is that most of the time at the micro
level derivatives are stabilizing, but that systemically they
can be destabilizing. The simplest derivative is the futures
market and in the context of its origins in agriculture can be
seen to be frequently stabilizing. Farmers are a lot

John Weeks is an intelligent and intellectually honest Marxist even
John Weeks, hmmm. I have a bone to pick with this guy anyhow. I arranged
a debate between contra supporter and DSA member Paul Berman and a
pro-Sandinista expert. NACLA proposed Weeks and I lined him up. Hundreds
of people came expecting a debate. Berman pushed his horrible stuff as

Treacy: Thanks for the clarification Ellen. It may well be that this
male concern is part of our genetic makeup. Studies of child

parents. By the way this holds for both male and female child murder

1) Begin by asking: "Who the hell are you to tell us how to do our

what our problems are as faculty."
2) Then tell them about academic freedom and question their commitment
