It is the fate of famous thinkers to be reduced to caricature. Those outside the limelight at least keep their nuance.

Hi Lewis,
I came across your blog by chance when reading your article on business class airline travel. I’m not much of a reader myself, (more of a skimmer), but I enjoy quirky and eclectic articles, and yours was one of them 🙂
I’m enjoying reading through your other blog posts.
Mike.
