- Lenore Bronson August 28, 2021 at 12:49 pm on AboutI know it’s been years since the last entries here, but I want you to know that I continue to listen to your father’s lectures and find them more brilliant and relevant each time. My question now is about you snd your brothers. How are you? How has life been for you? I just feel a connection to you because of the years of listening to and learning from your father. I’d just be pleased to hear that life has been happy and at least somewhat fair to you. Not too much of a struggle. The sad thing is, I believe your father would be appalled at the state of the world today. His insights were unfortunately quite prophetic. If you had the time and inclination, I’d very much appreciate a brief reply. My best wishes and hopes for you, Lenore Bronson (German lecturer, University of Maine )
- Robert May 3, 2021 at 1:52 am on 108 Philosophy and Post-Modern Culture (1990)@Maria Cristina: "American Inculturation"? You're writing that comment on a lecture series about European philosophy? It seems like you need to watch the series a fifth time, because it's clear you have difficulty comprehending what he was trying to get across.
- Max Roderick April 29, 2021 at 7:42 am on In MemoriumTo clarify, there was some commentary about it in another draft of this, but I decided it was probably in poor taste and cut it out. I think the director came in with some definite ideas about what Rick's story would be, but they didn't really line up to the reality, or even what could pass as the reality in the confines of a documentary. He decided to make a film about the ninth symphony instead, called "Following the Ninth," so I guess check that out if you want, but basically I don't expect he'd have any interest in actually completing a documentary on Rick.

- Robert Young January 6, 2021 at 12:04 pm on In MemoriumHi Max - thank you for this. As I've watched and listened to your fathers talks, artists including Terrance Mallick (Badlands), David Foster Wallace (the German TV interview and Kenyon College speach) and even Theodore Kazinski (manifesto-not the bombs) came to my mind. I have gotten lot from your Dad's talks. I'm sure glad the talks are out there on the web for people to watch. Your stories about your Dad's early life are fascinating at least to me having grown up in a rural mid-western town. They give his ideas a context. Thanks again.
