Spent some part of the afternoon aimlessly reading all sorts of unpleasantly vituperous material on various blogs from folk who one might consider reasonably intelligent. Gosh, people can be quite extraordinarily nasty to each other, especially from the safety of an Internet connection. Then picked up William James's civilised, genuinely intelligent Pragmatism with an enormous sense of relief, simply related to reading something that didn't feel like mental pollution.
That old saying, You'll be known by the company you keep, suddenly seemed peculiarly applicable.
