I think it is important. You have asserted that Daniel Quinn is a plagiarist and a fraud. Those are quite serious allegations. Ishmael.org states that Ishmael...
Sthephen, We must take care not to assume that everyone that doesn't agree with us is somehow being deceived by civilization, like we were above it. I...
Barbara, I am not accusing Daniel Quinn of anything. I said this is an hypothesis. I was quite sure Daniel Quinn said that Ishmael was out of print, but I...
BC You are right about technology, I was just clarifying what I mean when I use that word. About Lorenz, sure, again, I did not said Lorenz originated this...
Janos, I am a materialist (in the philosophical sense of the term.) I realize that scientific materialism is only a metaphysical assumption, but it is a...
... Sure, let's not get insulting. Or any more insulting, I guess. I meant to say that because the idea Quinn presents is foreign to us, people read many...
Hi, I am not a materialist. Even though I think evolution is a very useful theory, I realize it's just a theory. It just INTERPRETS reality. My perception is...
Stephen, I realize is not easy to become B, I took me many years to understand Quinn. I was never enthusiastic about it, I took it seriously, with some ...
... So is gravity. We may someday gain a better understanding of gravity than we have today, but the phenomenon is going to be the same. Evolution is a ...
Stephen, I do not believe in evolution. I know evolution. It's a pretty good theory. It explains a lot the origins of the species. But let me correct you: the ...

... I can't explain why we should or should not, not without a moral judgment, I can only explain why we do or do not. Does that make sense? Should implies...
... No. I'm stating that we survive because we do have a will to survive. If we lose that will, we will not survive. ... Really? I've often wondered if my...
Great. That's it. If I can be of any help irght now, I would like to recommend some things. First, a documentary: Betrayal by technology, with Jaques Ellul: ...
Sthephen, Sure, it is a completely different thing from what I understood before, but it is still the same in some way, you see? Faith can be almost the...
Stephen, Ellul is interesting. He was a Christian anarchist, which is a wonderfully peculiar combination. If you can find his *Christianity and Anarchism*,...
Hey Mike, I just finished Freedom (tm), Suarez's sequel to Daemon. I didn't realize that you had posted about Suarez when I responded to your Wakeup post until...
David, Not to worry -- there will be some new members here soon, which is what I believe we need. It was not I who mentioned "Freedom", but I *am* reading it...
Morning all! We were challenged to wake up, to think about what we're doing out there. I'm in Los Angeles, in a suburb, in one of the more challenging...
Hey Stephen, Your last 3 paragraphs really spoke to me, for many reasons. But most importantly, too, my focus is on books (and actions) that focus on making...

I just finished reading Daniel Quinn’s *Ishmael* this morning, for the third or fourth time. Prior to my first reading, in 1994, I had already learned a ...
