Does Dave really need anyone else stroking his ego?
A few days before my trip to Cambridge, I got an email from Charlie Nesson, founder of Berkman Center, Harvard Law professor and philosopher. He’s teaching a winter course on Evidence at the law school, and wanted to present me to his students at a session devoted to the trial of Socrates. Charlie has a notion that I am the modern embodiment of Socrates, a man who seeks truth by stirring things up.
How this whining self-aggrandizing little man inspires reverence in such people I’ll never know.
