To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

Dyson on Climate Change
The New York Times recently did an extended piece on Freeman Dyson in which his views on climate change were featured [he's a skeptic]. This has brought him a lot of unwanted publicity and in this interview with Environment 360 he extends and revises his remarks as [mis]reported in the Times. He has an interesting mind and I generally agree with his positions. Make up your own minds. Read the interview here.
