-Imma do some dabs and crash out.
You know Doyle writes about this very concept in _a study in Scarlet_ (first or second chapter)
I hadn't even expected to find this, but it's pried my mind opened a little further. Thank you.
I love this lecture. Dr. Staloff has a wonderful sense of humor. Thank you.
I really enjoy these videos even though I can't claim to understand all of it. Hopefully the wisdom will rub off on me if I keep on watching.
That's my approach as well!
To learn something you must first admit that you do not know!

The rich texture of this lecture really mirrors the complexity of the external world
Will there be an episode about Butterfield's "Whig interpretation of history"?
How close are the phrases explanation sketch and rough understanding semantically?
That's a bit over-stated, dawg.
Don't know but the place to find it would be a natural language processing AI
I think you, for voi very much for this vidhieo.
Don't do that, Mr. Staloff. If you don't present some counter-arguments you'll turn me into a positivist!
Very similar bodily mannerisms as Michael Sugrue, interesting
22:59 That's a wise, or should I say "knowledgeable" point to make

Did someone have to publish something pseudo original in order to get tenure? Sure sounds like it.
Donald W. McConnell?
Found nothing on him

such a robust argumentation! it's like watching an art performance
