Well, my beliefs are pretty meta-contrarian, and I think it stems from a desire to be different. So those old-rich may look at the new rich, feel disgusted that they may possibly be put in the same "bucket" as them, and try to find some wa

Since you asked for feedback... Your statement that all T.A.s do care a little about teaching is false. I was a T.A. that Did Not Care. There were no consequences to doing poorly, and student grades were controlled across T.A.s so my pe

Our "current notion" of love may certainly change, but the neurophysiological fact of love does not (at least, not on the same timescale). I don't know what the original commenter was referring to when he said love, but I rather think he

This is tantamount to the anti-abortion argument that "if you didn't want to get pregnant, you shouldn't have had sex." Birth control is not 100% reliable, and abstinence is an undue burden to place on anyone. Your values are from a time w

How could he possibly do that if he got her pregnant on the first date? 95% of the people I have gone on first dates with would have made disastrous life partners. It's kind of a lot to ask of him.

Have you considered that it might be the result of innate toy preference? It's pretty well established that the difference is innate ( http://www.scribd.com/full/36579212?access_key=key-1ztjrngs9... ), and it might have an influence on thes

I've often had similar thoughts about how men and women initially got involved in programming... why do you personally think that is? (I will look into the book.)

Well, personally, I absolutely hate being an employee. I have absolutely no respect for authority. I constantly question everything. I argue. It does not make me a good cog. Employers in boring, put slot A into slot B jobs love me, beca

Do you like writing grant proposals? Do you like teaching? Do you like writing and reviewing papers? Academia consists of a lot of non-coding work that I frankly cannot stand. Heck, I thought I might actually like teaching and it turned

The idea that a paleo diet will make you healthier because it's what we evolved to eat is bullshit. Firstly, it assumes that we haven't evolved since modern agriculture, which of course we have; people with ancestors from areas with grain h

Sucrose from sugar cane is more expensive than sucrose from beets, so the manufacturer is making sure people know it was made from sugar cane rather than beets.

I've used it twice in the week I've been signed up, and recommended it to one person who actually twittered that she needed some way to search her Twitter feed. That's more than I use most web apps :).

I don't have any empirical evidence about this. However, I do know that activation of the immune system is costly to an individual organism. It uses energy, and this can lead to sub-optimal functioning of other systems. I do not know if gi
