Comments on A bizarre comparison

Dr Gray's thought is confused.

About a man who whose task is thought (thinking about political philosophy and communicating his thoughts), what worse thing could be said?

I bought one of John Gray's books (Black Mass) because Nassim Nicholas Taleb said on his website that Gray was the "greatest living thinker". Now I'm wondering about both of them.

But all this is explained by the fact that Appleyard is, and always has been, at every moment of the day, a total dickwad.

Enter anti-spambot Turing code:





Select some text and click this to format it as a quote Make the selected text bold Make the selected text italic Add a web link


Basic html active.

Alas, but for obscure reasons Mac and some Linux users cannot use push-button formatting options and have to use basic html manually. Revealed forthwith are the mysteries of basic Html:

<strong>This text in-between is bold</strong>

<em>This text is in italics</em>

And
<blockquote>This is a quote</blockquote>
