But I’m still having a good time.
I delivered the second of my two lectures this morning, and it went reasonably well. Good crowd. Nobody threw anything. Etc.
Then I attended a really interesting short film about Social Darwinism and its impact on Germany prior to the First World War. Fascinating. I’d been aware of the Social Darwinist strain in National Socialism, but I hadn’t realize how much it had affected things much earlier.
Then I listened to Ken Elzinga, of the economics faculty at the University of Virginia, in a session where he described his economic-themed mystery novels.
Then I attended a session in which Kevin Williamson of National Review introduced a very good speech by Charles C. W. Cooke, also of National Review.
Now it’s time for lunch.
