So what's the interpretation that will make one false and the other true?

>I could never do that on carb diet. Have you tried? I always run before eating (not as part of a regimen, it's just convenient), as I expect many do. And my diet is closer to inverse-keto than keto.

Even if China is guilty of worse than the United States, it's not clear to me that that should be salient to Americans. I'd submit that, although China is constantly presented as a rival, Americans are much more likely to be harme

Am I missing something or does the word "Glut" in the title here mean the opposite of what the article describes?

I've seen this trope around for a while now, that is, people who insist that it's somehow incorrect to say, "I don't believe in global warming" or "I don't believe in evolution." I used to find this

I bike and run, and like you appreciate how gentle cycling is on one's body. With that said, I don't worry about getting killed while running the way I do while cycling (i.e. by cars).

The "fun" aspect is one of the reasons I'm skeptical of arguments that driving stick is somehow safer. That is, I suspect that nowadays, in America anyway, car enthusiasts self-select for driving stick to the extent that we c

I've thought there are three ways to view the Principle of Charity, depending on what you think its aim is. The exegetical aim is to accurately determine the author's belief or intention. The pragmatic aim is to conduct the most f

One thing that struck me about Tyler Shultz is that (as the book emphasizes) he is the grandson of George Shultz, former Secretary of State and Theranos board member. Can you imagine trying to defend yourself against Theranos as a regular J

My impression from the author's description of her friends is that they aren't broke either. >I often hear my friends say, “I’m too poor” when they’re frustrated about what they can’t have. Maybe it’s a trip they can’t afford,

Every mass shooting or act of terror nowadays is met with calls not to lend exposure or notoriety to the perpetrators. Often I find it hard not to view such exhortations cynically (I suspect an ulterior motive when someone like Ben Shapiro

That's irrelevant as far as the designation of "science" is concerned. This is a question of knowledge and certainty, not practical application. The point is that results in cosmology (and other fields) are very well confirme

It's funny how different aspects of one's identity hang together. You'd think that diet should have little to do with someone's views on politics or gender, but when I learned that Jordan Peterson adhered to an all beef

Yes, it's hard not to think that the subtext here is a kind of quietism in service to the status quo.

When I was a student I had this same experience peer-editing prose. In reading a classmate's paper, I found endless nits to pick about syntax and minute points of diction or style, but much less to say about the actual argument. The ma

I've wondered if CostCo works along this principle. People like the idea of getting bulk rates for items. But even in cases where items really are cheaper per unit, it may not be an advisable purchase for most people if they don't

Yeah, I wonder of "tinkering" isn't bound to diminish with technological progress. If things like cars and computers become more sophisticated over time, presumably that pushes them progressively beyond the abilities of layme

Do we not have ample research by now as to the inefficacy and harms of corporal punishment? What serious evidence is there on the other side? It also strikes me as something of a bad joke to suggest that we might have become uncritically pr

Long hours are intrinsic to endurance sports, though. An avid cyclist or runner will easily spend ten hours or more training each week. By contrast, I doubt many people put that much into beer league softball or pick up basketball. (It&#x27

I run and bike, and I've wondered about this too. Running seems like it should be the most affordable sport, but in America, at least, runners tend to be affluent. Perhaps wealthy areas are more hospitable to running, but I don't

This is important to consider, but even if anti-car policies inadvertently exclude some people, I'd push back against the presumption that they are more exclusionary than pro-car policies. They might still represent an improvement over
