Yes Roderick Long is a geek. Geeks are cool though. I also remember him making a comment about how the Klingons were able to make spaceships and the like if they are a constantly warring people’s. That would indicate that there are members of their society who were able to work in voluntary exchange in order to meet the capital accumulation necessary for space travel. The philosophical politics of Star Trek, brought to you by Roderick Long.
I wonder what his D&D tabletop characters are.
I’m a rogue in order to furfill my unquenchable need to steal and rob.
You say that as if it wasn’t a given that Dr. R. Long is an extreme geek.
Im a cleric so that I don’t have to argue over phat lewt. A healing spell is a healing spell…
He is probably one of the smartest men at LvMi. David Gordon takes the cake though.
Gordon is awesome. What specifically makes you say that though?
He’s a waste of talent in many respects.
Haha that’s awesome. Roderick Long just seems like a huge geek (as is anyone posting and/or viewing this forum). He’s probably my favorite modern philosopher too.
That he is the smartest man at the LvMi? I would say because he did a complete seminar on the history of political philosophy covering Aristotle to Rothbard without notes. Pure off the cuff lecturing. My history teacher during my undergrad years did that so I highly respect anyone who can do whole lectures let alone seminars in such a fashion.
why do you say that?
Sometimes you guys scare the Hell out of me. [:|]
My experience is that the more of his work I read, the more brilliant he gets.

For me, it was love at first sight.
For me it was his lecture on the American debates between Hamilton and Seabury
“If I am to be devoured, let me be devoured by the jaws of a lion and not gnawed to death by rats and vermin” - Samuel Seabury
