Is this post asocial? If I spend an hour doing stuff like this, am I really not interacting with friends? I'll buy that it's a different form of social interaction. But not that it's the defining opposite of social.

So this seems like a dead end framework. But perhaps the abstract isn't a fair representation of the full paper.

Oh, I don't know. Huxley once quipped that the Britannica indexed intellegence under three rubrics: Intelligence, human; intelligence, animal; and intelligence, military. Perhaps another should be added: intelligence, academic.

I'm reading a collection of Howard Zinn's collected papers. Boy, could that guy write. An unadulterated pleasure.
