Thank you,
Thank you for remembering my first little book of 15 years ago. While philosophy is still my first love and will remain so, I do believe that intellectuals have a duty to become invovled in mundane policy issues, and not leave it to special interests, foreign or commercial. It is not below my intellectual dignitiy. Contrary to common beliefs, energy has to be generated somewehre somehow, and I would prefer that it is generated in a way that does not pay for supression of dissent, helicopters to Syria, or for corrupt elites to remain in power.
