To: NonZeroSum
His tastes are very eclectic, that's for sure. And I still can't figure out there the heck he has all that time to surf the web and post comments on his web log all day. He's certainly Posnerian in that regard. I take it "NonZeroSum" is reference to the classic rejoinder to the Hobbesian argument for the State, no?

Well, people who do research and writing for a living cam find time to do such things. As someone who runs my own weblog, I find that it doesn't take as much time as one might think, assuming that one already is spending a lot of time working on a computer, and can do it in spurts and breaks. He doesn't actually write all that much--he mostly posts short comments about stuff that other people write,and weblog software makes this pretty painless.

Actually not--it's more of a reference to game theory, and Robert Wright's book of the same name.
