David comments on Jared Diamond and Papua New Guinea

Diamond is a buffoon when it comes to understanding people. His ornithology is, as I understand it, impeccable, and he's written really cool stuff about bowerbirds in PNG (not the band - http://creagrus.home.montereybay.com/bowerbirds.html). But he has no interest, for example, in Feld's work on the co-evolution/co-existence of birds and human societies in PNG....

Quentin!!! Thank you so much for this info. I have got into so many arguments with people because I don't adore Diamond...deep in my heart I knew he was a fake.

Big hug!! Fabiola

Although I like to think our arrogance has become a far subtler and complex beast then it was in those days. Okay, that's more bullshit...

DHP, your point is taken. I stand corrected. :)

How arrogant we WERE? Dude, many things have changed; that's not one of them. ;)

Thanks for posting this Q, I wonder if the author will see this...?

Thanks for posting this. As I know the author in question, and definitely view him very differently as I've gotten older and (hopefully) becomes less cruel, it is quite an experience to read the passion that is/was behind his faith.

Like you, I've had my own spiritual awakening over the years, which is quite different from the framework that this author presents, although I can't help but be moved by his letter.

The other thing that struck me about this post, was the reminder of how we used to call ourselves the "Blasphemers." Can you believe how arrogant we were? :)
