PHILISTINISM AND FAILURE: If you enjoyed* our latest Silicon Graffiti video, check out David P. Goldman at his “Spengler” column (and that nom de blog dovetails remarkably well with our theme, doesn’t it?) on “Philistinism and Failure,” then follow David’s link to Fred Siegel from the April issue of Commentary, for his brilliant article on “How Highbrows Killed Culture,” for much more on the themes that our video scratches the surface of.

* In an entirely relative sense, of course.
