Combinatorics 101:
With institutional backing and minor policy concessions, Jesse “The Body” Ventura may have been uniquely positioned to disproportionately siphon votes from Trump as a third-party candidate.
This is the man who once remarked, “Until you’ve hunted man, you haven’t hunted yet.” 😹

I like to watch MS Now sometimes, but I wonder:
When you articulate the platform axiomatically, what justifies calling it “moderate” at all, especially in a global context?

Calibrated 25’s: the new gold?
For adjustable dumbbells: Well, yes.
Using the same plates for barbells and dumbbells is the most elegant solution here, IMHO.

They say empty vessels make the most noise. So what’s the proper medium of a “full” mind: tabular, symbolic, graphical, or verbal?

Many who are criticizing Brad Holmes for passing on Mike McDaniel and hiring Drew Petzing are putting too much stock in a Yale History degree and too little stock in a Middlebury Econ degree with a minor in Math and Philosophy.

Why do people defend mythological heuristics instead of accepting knowledge and logic?
If knowledge and logic are normally distributed, then at the median, raising the baseline while maintaining ordering feels like work without payoff.

A Costco hot dog at the local tractor pull is nice, but I learned at a young age that America can’t compete with China’s soft power. When I was a kid, we went to the Cincinnati Zoo and waited in line all day for five minutes at the panda exhibit.

Mark Cuban says humans were designed to create, that is why they become depressed when all they do is consume.
So why is most of his wealth tied up in corporate structures where most employees have little creative control and are paid to execute, not create?

Hegel’s 𝑆𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝐿𝑜𝑔𝑖𝑐 stretches language to its limits.
I have tried to extend this discursive mastery to learning juggling, though I appear not yet to be at the mirror stage.
So we begin where the 𝐿𝑜𝑔𝑖𝑐 ends: a sweeping recapitulation of developmental psychology, I suppose.
