Intellectual Footsie

By Jim Dallas

Brad DeLong follows up on Matt Yglesias. John Rawls, David Hume, the National Review, and the word "niggardly" are involved. Two lessons will be learned here:

  • stupidity sometimes pays; and
  • never sign a social contract without the advice and consent of a philosophy major.

Go read it or else, eager young space cadets!

Jim-

You owe it to people who don't own a thesaurus to explain why the word niggardly is not a slur, nor remotely related to what they think it means.

Phlegmatically,
Keith;)
