I want to say no, because I don't especially enjoy or excel at it. But I don't have a strong sense of better alternatives, either.

I went to a liberal arts college and a lot of the virtues of community college mentioned in this thread remind me of my own experience (smaller class sizes, broader curricula, professors dedicated to teaching rather than research). Well, ex

I guess obedience implies literally anything insofar as you can instruct it.

It's no surprise that standing is not a substitute for exercise. What's surprising, and what this article addresses, is that exercise may not fully mitigate the ill effects of sitting.

My sense is that the other motive to insist on "football" is the perception of American chauvinism. If a different country had their own name for the sport, I don't think you'd see people complain that they were being pa

My sense is that incels are red pilled and nu males aren't. So they might be similar in that they both fail to live up to a certain image of masculinity, but incels view that as a problem (or, at least, a hindrance) whereas nu males do

I take the article to dispute the incel premise that a majority of women only have sex with a minority of men. My impression is that this asymmetry is crucial, because it underwrites the narrative that sexlessness is largely a problem for m

Funny, that rant turns into a love letter to New York by the end (Norton is expressing his frustration at what he'll miss when he goes to prison). If this Medium rant has a similar denouement it's even more subtle.

As much as I enjoy cycling, I don't have anywhere near enough time to accommodate a bike regimen equivalent to my running regimen. To my mind, the only way cycling comes out ahead of running for most people is if (1) they have an usual

I had a classmate like this. My high school has a graduation requirement where each senior delivers a speech to the student body on a topic of their choice. At the time of his speech, it was spring and my classmate had been accepted to Prin

One way to read the underlying question is, "Are there necessary connections between sensory perceptions?" (Could a tactile sensation, in and of itself, somehow "imply" a visual one?) That doesn't strike me as an em

It's an axiom of American political discourse that any argument to restrict guns is logically equivalent to an argument to proliferate guns.

What surprised me is that the move seemed preemptive. I've followed a lot of gun control coverage lately (and support gun control myself) without seeing anyone demand that YouTube ban gun videos. Who is asking for this? Have I just not

I guess it depends on whether you interpret "leadership" to entail virtue or excellence as opposed to influence or impact.

Moral or legal culpability is not a zero sum game. Recklessness by the pedestrian does not absolve Uber. Generally, if it's in your power to avoid killing someone, you have an obligation to do it. That's also why comparisons to a

It does strike me that the free speech and capitalistic impulses of opponents of censorship are in tension with each other. If YouTube could show that hosting certain gun videos would cost them $X in advertising revenue or litigation, and t

Tempe police have said that the car didn't brake ("significantly") prior to the collision[1]. So it does not seem that the car reacted optimally but simply had too much speed to halt in time. [1] http://www.phoenixn

Even if most people aren't cut out to be "Good Will Hunting" auto-didacts, it's hard not to see wider availability of learning materials as a positive development. When it comes to risks of exploitation, I'm more wo

Sure, but the question remains whether mandatory helmets would prevent a significant number of car injuries and deaths (I'd say that's quite plausible). Whether cars have other safety features already is neither here nor there.

For whatever reason, it seems like practically all studies about the benefits of fitness (for health, memory, etc.) test cardiovascular fitness in particular. I've wondered if that reflects a certain cultural bias[1]. [1] https:/

This feels like satire. China censored a meme sufficiently obscure that people aren't even sure what it was?

Out of curiosity, what makes McCarthy the anti-Leonard? I've only read McCarthy and not Leonard, but reading this article immediately reminded me of McCarthy in that it recommends a spare prose style.
