I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Looks like you're ready to disagreeblerize the exemplars of our knowledge, again.
By the way, any idea how long it might take for this post to be cited in the scholarship?
I'd love to put Marx and Freud in a dialogue of disagreement using quotations only, but that'd be very difficult, very time-consuming to do.
I'd like even more to put Marx as Id, Freud as Superego, and Darwin as Ego - that is, Marxian revolutionary pleasure, Freudian rigid disapproval, and Darwinian cautionary wisdom.

How long? Aeons! Most of it in another dimension . . .
