Jake Lodwick’s Blog: Vortex →
At a recent social event I met a woman who was, unmistakably, very intelligent. The intelligence pulled me in quickly and I was eager to discover how this particular mind was applying itself to the world. She said that in that in school, she studied a particular scientific discipline, as well as…
Sorry, guy. Here’s the problem with your argument: you don’t have one. As others...
"In the Future, I will own 7 cars," and other lies...
Lying to yourself is easy, I thought.
It’s easy to wake up in the morning and think, “I’m Batman,” and then walk through your apartment in your underwear.
