I miss the intellectual mind games I could sometimes play with the learned professors especially the ones who took themslvsew too seriously like philosophers and physicists. We had this intro to philosophy textbook in 1978 back when philosophers would need at requiring student s to read anything but original sources.At UA this hotshot young philosopher had just finished laughing me out of his office when I said, "But remember Professor Tanner, Whitehead said that philosophy is nothing but a series of footnotes to Plato. You guys haven't mr much progress in 2,000 yrs, have you"
"Touches, Mr. Hudson!" So we partied friends.
