'.... a day without sunshine.'
Perhaps we need a reprise of some recent The Bell Curve - related social science research works, to further raise our spirits, during this holiday season.
Reading random isolated articles on a broad array of picayune topics, as Brooks recommends, is rather idiotic;
and may even qualify as an example, or an expression, or even a proof, of the kind of suburban nihilism Kelly refers to in criticizing Brooks;
and qualifies as a valid and related point, (moving from literature as such to the loosely related fields of the social sciences),
similar in some ways to those implied by Kelly against Brooks' suppositions of an absence of nihilism, or its containment within a literary sub world.
(I LIKE PHILOSOPHY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE,
BUT NOT MOST OF WHAT PASSES FOR IT NOWADAYS, EITHER.)
One can read Harvard Business School Management articles,
we had a hundred or so of them while I was at BU,
until you are purple,
but I still rather prefer The Maverick Executive,
for 'management social science'.
