From Scilabba's article on
Edward Said, in "What Are              SCIALABBA
Intellectuals Good For?"
(2009), p.208:

   "The acknowledgment of ignorance is
   the beginning of wisdom.  Perhaps             POLITICAL_AESTHETES
   the acknowledgement of political
   irrelevance will prove, for some at
   least, the beginning of political
   commitment."


Rich Yeselson, commenting on
Scilabba at "Crooked Timber",

   "I wonder for example if the
   brilliant, precocious Ezra Klein,
   one of the country's leading
   experts on health care, has ever
   publicly written the word
   'modernity'-- the lodestone that
   Scialabba has wrestled with lo           THE_NEW_INTELLECTUALS
   these many years-- and whether
   that is a bad thing.)"

                                   I've felt some periods of
                                   confusion that I thought
                                   might be pregnant confusion,
                                   the beginnings of a new
                                   direction.

                                       That promise has yet to be
                                       born out, as far as I can
                                       tell... but then it's not
                                       like I feel I'm in need of
                                       "new directions".
