William James - The PhD Octopus

+Full Text +

The full text of William James's article The Ph.D Octopus which is -conveniently enough in the public domain, and worth republishing.

Thanks to the public domain I have republished the full text of +William James's article The Ph.D Octopus. It is a rather nice essay on +the over-reliance on academic accredation as a measure of intellectual +worth which I find is a particularly relevant issue today.

+ +

What makes this most interesting is that it was published in 1903 by a +man who was seeing our present-day culture form before his eyes. Ah! +What an exciting—or perhaps, terrifying—time the beginning of the +20th century must have been! All of the technological progress in our +time has been meaningless in contrast to our utter cultural +stagnation. Perhaps exciting times are here for us now; perhaps the +time has come to reverse—or transcend—the cultural progress of the +early 20th century.

Greetings, my name is Clinton and you have stumbled upon my personal -website. This is a continually evolving project as most things on the -web are.

-Journal

- -

I keep a journal which is where I tend to send ideas out into the -Ether before reformulating them into coherent essays for the site -sitting before you, occasionally interspersed with commentary on my -mundane daily existence.

- -

The Old Site is still available. Links to pages there will remain -stable indefinitely so as to not break the Holy Command of Our Sovran -Hypertextia.

-About Me / Contact

- -

I am a mild mannered hacker and metalhead.

I welcome criticism and suggestions to improve anything I have -written here.

I hang out on Freenode and oftc as unknown_lamer in various -channels. /whois will guide you to me.

-RÃ©sumÃ©

- -

I am a programmer by trade, and as such have a (potentially) fancy -RÃ©sumÃ©. I am quite familiar with UnCommon Web and Common Lisp in -general. This, naturally, makes me unemployable.

-Site Software

- -

I use muse-mode to author the site because Emacs is all powerful, and -the closest approximation to a good user interface available on any -modern computer system. Muse allows me to simply write with very low -overhead (I spend most of my time in Emacs, and having hyperlinks and -a reasonable preview in the file buffer is quite useful). The file -format is quite hairy, but luckily the code is Free Software and, if -needed, I could easily write a publishing backend that transcoded my -site to an easier to parse format. There are advantages to being a -programmer.

- -

I use darcs to push updates to the site and manage my muse files. As -such there is a handy updates feed courtesy of darcsweb.
