Talk:Essay:Liberal Intellectualism (view source)
Revision as of 17:41, May 5, 2011
, 17:41, May 5, 2011→Hemingway Overrated
On what grounds? I consider a lot of liberal writers overrated but Hemingway's work was very substantial and he was clearly a genius despite his failings. But why is he considered overrated? And if so, how overrated? Enough that he doesn't qualify as a true intellectual? [[User:KingHanksley|KingHanksley]] 13:38, 5 May 2011 (EDT)

Bertrand Russell was a genius too. We need to stop equating "wrong about the most important thing" with "wrong about everything."[[User:KingHanksley|KingHanksley]] 13:41, 5 May 2011 (EDT)
