Willard:
Alford's description doesn't sound like what my colleagues in
biochemistry, microbiology, and geology are doing or would recommend
that anyone do.

Subject: RE: HOSTILITY TO REASON
This concerns Wm McCarty's quote from Alford's Narcissism: etc., etc. If
Alford thinks developed, Western reason is in such a lamentable state,
what does he think he is using to state his lament and how far from ade-
quate, therefore, does he think his lament is?

Dear Willard: I fail to follow the leap of logic after your ellipsis.
I fail to see the consequencews of dimunition of reason coming from the
use of reason as the means of creating those prostheses that are the
hallmark of the species, b eginning with fire, say. YOurs, Jascha K
