I went to see Jordan Peterson tonight and want to jot down some thoughts while it’s still fresh in my mind. “Enforced monogamy” is an anthropological way of saying long-term committed monogamous relationship; aka marriage. It was a diverse crowd.  About 10 percent were minorities, but none of them were over 35.  It was overwhelmingly…

The destruction was as much moral as political. Thucydides describes an Athens in which “[w]ords had to change their ordinary meaning and to take that which was now given them.

Central Texas mom charged after leaving toddlers to die in hot car   From Tuesday night until mid-day Wednesday? That’s not hours, that’s at least half a day.
