Thoughts on a picture of Freeman Dyson

Minneapolis/st. Paul - City Pages - The Blotter - Mischke show notes: March 30, 2008
When I encountered this face on the cover of my Sunday New York Times magazine, I had two thoughts. If global warming is in fact not a threat, and not man- made, than this could be the face of a kindly old man, an avuncular relative come to help us all out. But if climate change is indeed the great concern of our time, and this is the leader of the "it's all bullshit" movement, than isn't it fascinating to imagine you're staring into the very face of Satan? Doesn't he look like he could indeed be the devil himself? What else would an incarnated Anti-Christ look like? This is him, man!
