Hi,
Barry-
Incidentally, is there a particular subject you're not interested
in having covered, having already addressed it quite a bit over the past
couple of years?
I was thinking of perhaps starting off with an essay on the manner in
which the rise of the internet may perhaps have an effect on the critical
thinking and general knowledge of some portion of those who grew up with
it/will grow up with it that is similarly beneficial to the effect that
appears to have been had on the classical Greeks upon the rise of literacy;
for instance, do such new conventions as hyperlinks provide a marked advantage
in determining the truth of a matter? The piece would also draw on any studies
in existence which might provide data on this, aside from some observations
and hypotheses I've made in the course of my own recent work on the subject.
Let me know if this idea interests you.
Thanks,
