TOM SMITH ON CRAZINESS: “We learn of anosognosia, a word spell check has never seen before, which refers to the schizophrenic’s lack of insight about his own illness. But that’s just an exaggerated version of what say, Professor Krugman has. Krugman is evidently blissfully unaware that the concept of a conscience is almost the exact opposite of the disposition, on flagrant display today, one may have to always think that one is right and good and those one disagrees with are wrong and evil. If someone were to say, oh, my conscience, that’s the little voice inside me that tells me I am smarter, and morally better than others. No, Paul, that’s not your conscience; your ego maybe, but not your conscience. But I suspect your efforts to convince Krugman of this would be as successful as efforts to convince the Arizona shooter that the government is not trying to control his mind with grammar.” Is it just me, or have law professors been especially hard on Krugman this week?
