Hi Reginald,
Sorry for the misspelling of your name. I’d like to blame it on British Airways, Delta Airlines and the Marriot Hotel but it’s simply my own sloppiness. After reading your post, I had to respond right away although I was still jet lagged from my nightmarish weekend. Anyway, all links have also been fixed–Cheers!
Hi Joseph,
I’m very glad you like this post but I wouldn’t single out Silliman as being somehow frivilous or clueless. No one is without his blind spots but Ron is a very sharp man with a big heart. As a society and civilization, we are blithely moving forward in a toxic fog of our own making.

What a rich and thought-provoking post! I appreciate the way you inhabit these insights on several levels at the same time. Yes, the shifts we are seeing in the economy, local and global, cannot help but shape the nature of all the arts. I have a feeling that the coming transformations will make the prissy games of the Silliman crowd look especially fusty in a decade or so.

Dear Linh,
Thanks for this smart and engaging post. I just wanted to mention that my name is spelled “Shepherd” (as in “German” and “the Good”), not “Shepperd.” Also, the link in your post doesn’t work–the Harriet address and the address you’re trying to point to run together. I think you must have left out or misstyped one of the HTML tags. I do that all the time, and then have to go back and fix them.
Thanks again for the interesting post. I just got your book from Nick Twemlow and am looking forward to reading it.
peace and poetry,
Reginald
