The Narrative Must Advance
There’s a concept that comes up at TheLastPsychiatrist.com: “ writing
your story toward an ending .” I like this concept, and I’ve been thinking
about it a lot lately. The Last Psychiatrist ,
of course, frames his blog posts in the language of narcissism. H...

When Your Way Out Isn't A Way Out
I followed a link on Robert Murphy's blog, and then followed another link, and then somehow I found myself on The Other Side of the Internet. I don't recommend going there often, if at all. Still, "While I'm here," I thought to myself, "I may as well see if...

Getting Fitter
Getting people from fat to fit isn’t even a cottage industry
anymore. I’d speculate that it’s a multi-billion-dollar industry that ranges
from short workouts of the day, like the ones you’ll find at Darebee.com , to
hour-long video workouts like P90X. I jus...

The Left's Weird Special Language
Consent is mediated by power differentials along structural, informal, social, physical, intellectual, and other forces in clearly discernable ways. For grotesque example, if someone has power over one’s potential career trajectory, there is an incentive to...

Psychological Rejection And The Election
This is a blog post for two of my friends. The thinkpiece-writing world continues to struggle in vain for viable explanations of the Trump "phenomenon." My preferred explanation that a popular television personality won an election by telling a lot of peopl...

My Resistance To Identity Politics
There is a lot of identity politics out there. It comes in
various forms, and the liberal-tarians are all united on the fact that it is
good to be an “ally” to victims of certain difficult lived experiences. But
just as I have resisted the inclination to ca...

Democratic Crack-Up Boom
The Washington Post is riffing on a common theme: the plummeting popularity of democracy as a form of government. Most people agree that this is a deleterious trend, and a lot of people have been writing about what it "means." Before we jump the gun, thoug...

Caballeros . Dedicated readers will note that this was my second
Aristocrats concert. The
first occurred way back in August of 2013 . By no...

What Do We Tell The Children?
A number of people have asked me privately what we should
tell our children about the fact that Donald Trump is now the president-elect.
This question seems to presuppose that children are waiting for us to explain
something. They’re not. As difficult as it...
