  • Extreme Frugality: An American Co-culture

    2062 Words  | 5 Pages

    Several months ago I began to suspect that a new acquaintance had some unusual ideas about money.

You may not even be aware of what nonintentional means. The dictionary definition for this word is "not done on purpose." In Barlow’s discussion of these types of communities

  • Emily Dickinson and Daniel Dennett

    1582 Words  | 4 Pages

    Reading Dickinson, I do not. Not until Darwin's Dangerous Idea: Evolution and the Meanings of Life (3) did I begin to squirm. But Dickinson's "theory" is every bit as radical and not dissimilar to Dennett's. Does the human brain take a different (intentional, physical, design) stance when assessing scientific versus non-scientific information? Neither Grobstein nor I complain about Dickinson's lack of rigorous logic or scientific underpinnings in this poem. Instead, we accept it as a welcome springboard
