Yeah, I know. Unfortunately, this has been a week of pitching abstracts to journals, while advising students on final papers. What's more, I'm still waiting for my hard copy of the book, as the United States Postal Service has apparently decided to save money by stemming package delivery to my house. Next week, next chapter. Sorry for the wait. For now, continue discussing the first chapter—our previous threads are suspiciously barren. If you're having trouble with the book, ask questions. We're working through some tough, paradigm shifting stuff, and it's okay to interrogate the veracity of each claim before determining whether or not to accept it. Critical thinking is the whole point to this game, after all.
