About John C Wright
John C. Wright is a practicing philosopher, a retired attorney, newspaperman, and newspaper editor, and a published author of science fiction. Once a Houyhnhnm, he was expelled from the august ranks of purely rational beings when he fell in love; but retains an honorary title.
I apologise for being peevish and nitpersnickety. However. Your link seems to go to the wrong page of your wife’s blog; your title has a surplus ‘r’ in ‘aristocracy’; and in the previous post, while I’m complaining anyway, ‘atheist’ seems to have become a superlative, as in “I am athier than thou, but our lord and master Dawkins is the athiest of all men.”
All corrections gratefully accepted.
Though I must say, ‘athier than thou’ is a wonderful turn of phrase. One can easily appreciate it without being the least bit athy oneself.
Agreed. ‘Athy’ is a one for the lexicon.
