He is an egghead. With all his background in philosophy he ought to be lightyears ahead of Rush in understanding sovereignty and semiotics, but evidently there are a few gaps in his knowledge base.
With all his background in philosophyPhilosophy?
When did he spend great amounts of time in 'philosophy '?
Maybe you have Michael Weiner confused with someone else; this cat (Savage) has 'nutrition' background (based on the books he's written) ...
Brief, to-the-point bio:
Born 60 years ago in the Bronx, Weiner has lived in Northern California for most of his adult life, making a living as an herbalist and nutritionist. He communed with Fijian traditional healers, got married in a rain forest and studied ethno-medicine at the University of California at Berkeley. He swam naked with Allen Ginsberg, dreamed of being the next Lenny Bruce and wrote a rambling novel about a half-mad alter ego. His son's middle name is Goldencloud. For years, he made a name cranking out a pile of books on alternative medicine, recommending bizarre remedies such as using vitamin C to stop AIDS and kicking cocaine with coffee enemas.
