Fine. I'll email you something before we leave town at the end of the week.
I refuse to allow that, Thorn, since you already actively said you didn't want to do those chapters. It is not actually a big deal for me to do them.
I think that was before I read them, though, and it'll be easier to do it now than while traveling or whatever comes next in my life. Although I'm at a bathroom stop right now and they're plentiful enough I could probably write anything in that amount of time.
Aargh I could do something, I SUPPOSE. Earlier would be easier than later? What's the schedule here?
Chapters 1&2, and then one chapter at a time thereafter? Just assign me something, you monster.
Ok, you get chapter three, for the twentieth.
I'll try and get this business from the library on Monday so I can maybe actually follow along.
It's not impossible that I'll abuse posting privileges to say things at length anyway.
re: 14
At least there's nothing we can say that would be worse than the things that philosophers say to each other all the time in seminars and talks.
16: You're giving up too easily. It may be impossible, but we can still try!
14: but not, like, objectionable, right?

Absolutely not, especially as long as you all buy copies.
Wait, Kieran, this is probably dumb but what dog do you have in this fight? If I hypothetically think the whole thing is dumb, am I inadvertently insulting you? Hypothetically. I've only read chapter 1.
No, the book wasn't written by Kieran's dog, either. But Kieran is now obligated to challenge Heebie to a duel.

Nothing in this post or any of the comments contain any indication of what the book is, except Kieran's which lead me to presume that it's "Transformative Experience" or possible "Causation: A User's Manual".
The original thread is off the front page, so we'll never know.
FINE, I have a google, I now see why Kieran cares. Disregard 22.
I've been offline a lot lately.
24: does the causation book also have exactly four chapters and an afterword?
I don't get 26. What's the name of the book again?
Transformative Experience. Dedicated to a "Kieran", maybe the same one!
32: We chose that over the book that was specifically recommended by Art Garfunkel!?
31. Women academics sometimes keep their birth names when they get married. Maybe not in your field.
People, people -- Moby only pretends to be dense. It's me and heebie that are genuinely clueless.
27: I was offline a lot as a teenager.
35: I guess so, but not everybody with a different last name is married to Kieran.
14: Wait, do *you* know how L.A. Paul knows my cousin?
A happy vampire, I assume from context.
Anyway, my wife did not change her name when we were married. It was a useful way to screen out telemarketers when they called me "Mr. Wife's Lastname." Now that telemarketers can be identified because they are always robots, there's no point.
43: I can keep my writeup pretty basic so you have room to play, if you want. Or it can just not matter.
