Beware of Stephen J. Gould. I think it is relevant that Gould
seems to have been a believing Marxist . . .
I laughed when I read this because I could hear them grinding their axes
in stereo, Gould on the left and Raymond on the right.
My experience reading Gould and his critics has been odd. I don’t
always agree with him, but he never seems to give me the false
impressions his critics are upset with him for promoting. It makes for
some pretty surreal reading.
I actually thought, “Ooh, let’s see if it happens again,” when I clicked
the link to your post. It did. Ditto for the other criticism you
linked. Maybe I’m just out of step with everyone else?
Is it okay to comment here about some of the other posts he linked to?
Sure.
