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?
