Over at Majikthise, a blog (on analytical philosophy and liberal politics) that I have just noticed, Lindsay has the following to say:
Being raised by academic hippies is like being raised by wolves--you can rejoin human society, but you can never integrate seamlessly.
That's probably true for being raised by academics in general. My daughter is, I fear, doomed.
Read the rest of Lindsay's post which includes this gem:
My uncle, the philosopher, used to be a heavy smoker. One day when I was about six, I said, no doubt irritatingly,"If I were you, I wouldn't smoke."
He answered, "If you were me, you'd smoke. I smoke." I thought about that for a long time.
