“I have to say that the guy raised a huge red flag for me already in the first paragraph: ‘I hit the gym, pursued the most interesting and important ideas I could find, and started looking for a wife.’ “

The guys at Palladium talk about religion as a social technology. People stuck in the “new atheism” phase will find this hard to follow.

Having just had our first child, I see a lot of room for improvement.

Identical outcomes is a low bar, in the long-term. So then the question becomes, is the short-term pain worth a much safer future.

One of the interesting things about humans is we're all born preterm, because of our large heads and narrow hips. So you can potentially extended gestation by another term.
