The Sidney Awards 2013, Part 1 - David Brooks

It's that time of the year; glad that I read all except the most important one!! Here is the complete list:
  • Science is not your enemy by Steven Pinker
  • Crimes against humanities: Now science wants to invade the liberal arts. Don't let it happen by Leon Wieseltier 
  • Requiem for a Dream:Aaron Swartz was brilliant and beloved. But the people who knew him best saw a darker side by Larissa Macfarquhar
  • They're Watching You at Work by  Don Peck
And the one great essay, I missed was Do Elephants Have Souls?

About Me

Balaji Sundaresan
NJ, United States
I have this "little" 75 lb chocolate colored guy named Max and he has been the catalyst for my metamorphosis. Ever since he came into my life, I have been trying to subside that ape inside me.
Blogging is proclamation of my ignorance to the world, the willingness to learn and an effort to get rid of my cognitive dissonances.

I am I because my little dog knows me. - Gertrude Stein
