Philosophy of Linsanity
I've been thinking a lot about Jeremy Lin lately--and about the social phenomenon of " Linsanity ." I wonder what philosophers have to add that will complement the discussion in the popular press. Is it the underdog story that is so compelling? i.e., Lin as Linderella ? Is Lin's ethnicity a compelling part of the story? Tim Dalrymple argues that it is, but that Lin's religious beliefs are even more significant . Is there anyone else here who is fascinated by Jeremy Lin and Linsanity, and why?
