18h ago11:11

11:11

One of the reasons the Supreme Court can give for deciding not to hear a particular case is that "the court does not deal in trifles. Prioritizing the insignificant above the truly important is not only wasteful, it is disrespectful. Liberally granting your time and attention is like printing more money: the subsequent inflation only serves to deva…

Episode 427: How to drop a handkerchief (women initiate relationships) 10:46

2h ago10:46

10:46

Women must take an increasingly active approach to dating as they age. They do this by reclaiming their power to initiate interactions with men. By "dropping a handkerchief," women signal that they would be amenable to an overture, which significantly alters the risk-reward profile of a cold approach. In this episode, I discuss one way women can do…

In this second episode of a two-part series, I discuss the economic incentives driving the West's epidemic of mental illness.

Episode 424: The gift of nothingness (seeing the everyday miracle) 9:49

7d ago9:49

9:49

The common definition of a miracle is an event that shouldn't be possible given our understanding of physical reality. As such, the standard of comparison is the "normal" functioning of reality, which is considered "non-miraculous" by definition. However, if the standard of comparison were shifted to the no-thingness of pre-creation, then everythin…

No one likes the idea of being restricted. However, limitations benefit you in several substantive ways.

10:50

The idea that mutual understanding naturally leads to the cessation of conflict is erroneous.

Men don't approach marriage the same way that women do.
