> Trivers was no ordinary academic. He was privileged in upbringing but louche in lifestyle, personally endearing but at times obstreperous and irresponsible, otherworldly brilliant but forehead-slappingly foolish. I'm struggling to understand the use of the word "but" in this last sentence. This strikes me as a very ordinary academic. NB: I'm an academic. |
