And North Dakota has the best? Are you sure you all know what you're measuring?

Maybe divisive politics would be an adequate qualifier? Workers’ rights don’t generally relate to people’s self-identities the way issues like Church vs State do, for example.

It's not warm in the office. It should be free of armpit hair.

Dress code or no, if I saw someone wearing a wife beater in an office I'd be compelled to ask if they're feeling okay.

Meditation has helped me a lot. It helps the "you" that wants to stop worrying to be present. You learn how to be aware that you're worrying while you're worrying. Then you can stop it by gently placing your attention

The brain shutting down due to loss of blood is the same as dying. That tells us nothing about why it is experienced as such.

As you said, more hits and blows draw more viewers. Ad sales increase. Until violence becomes less popular, I'm not convinced that companies will start pulling their ads.

Unlike the production of child pornography, the act of writing this code didn't destroy lives. It seems quite different.

What average person has a need for blockchain? I seriously don't get the comparison.

"We should give up trying" is a straw man - this book is not a teaching nor does Pirsig come from the Zen tradition. And you've completely missed the point with respect to objectivity.

Try starting from the beginning of the conversations. Coming in at the 14th part leaves out a lot of context. I do take it seriously - it's utterly fascinating. I'm really excited to read Manzotti's new book.

I get a little annoyed with this "everything should work perfectly exactly the way I want it to" expectation. If you give your passcode to someone with extremely similar facial features, you should expect that they'll be able

Surprising is a poor word choice. A: I just threw 92 heads in a row. B: I’m surprised! A: No you’re not. B: The hell you say?

Oh definitely, I did that intentionally just to show that it was relative. I'm only speaking for myself, but I don't think an informed suggestion, even a kinder one, would have helped without having practiced giving and revoking a

>Have we conditioned ourselves to acknowledge pain? It seems to me that we evolved the ability to have pain, which is, by definition, a sensation that grabs your attention right away. I don't know if I understand what you mean. I ag

>You gain the ability to peacefully endure, even study, the pain because you're smarter than it? Kind of, yeah. It's something I've experimented with. The longer I focus on something painful the less it bothers me. It just

All the countless academic studies showing the benefits of meditation are comparing people who meditate vs. people who don't meditate with all else being equal. What sort of methodology do you suppose can better attribute causality to
