To “pastiche” Yul Brynner: don’t publish too much, don’t publish too much. Even if you have a “slammin’” body and a famous father, “restraint” with respect to publication of serious intellectual material like philosophy — although, in fact, this may go for philosophy less than for other fields — is the “mark” of a mature and responsible author such as should wield intellectual “clout”; as you all do, and reasonably-enough in my book, though it might in fact be true (as Will Smith once said in propria persona as his mother “‘Cause they’re not good friends”).

Don’t be like Jeffrey Daniel Rubard and friends; think before you “style” as a man of the left, or a “disingenuous ingenue”. No reason to as a “fresh face”, although if you’re 30 and haven’t written your book yet…

Have a happy holiday season.
