You, too, can strike up a conversation with a total stranger at a bus station and it doesn't have to feel weird. It is, however, likely to be short because people are so unused to it in the atomized west that, if you don't carry t

I'm cool enough to be invited or at least grandfathered-in to some of them but it's not the same. You can't just go online and find a different weird community every evening like you used to 15 years ago. Also, with the tight

When we keep animals in zoos and they refuse to breed, we consider this proof that their conditions are poor or even unacceptable. When TFRs plummet across the developed world, young people stop having sex, many consider this good because o

Laymen try to be careful online in completely unproductive ways: they keep logging in and out of Facebook without even deleting cookies, they disable data transmission on their phones when at home, etc. The only way to keep privacy online i
