The more books you read, the smarter you’ll be.

I don’t know that it matters too much how you read them.

Sometimes I like to use my Oculus Go to pick a nice scene and listen to an audiobook on Scribd. It’s more relaxing than actively reading.

Sometimes the hardest part is finding what you want to do.

”You’ll live.”

I like that. Your writing is very authentic.

It is aimed at all men though. It’s in the first two words.

What about trans men? Are they part of the problem too?

Or gay men?

Or women who say these things? Would it be socially acceptable to write an article entitled “Dear Women?” Maybe not — we need to be more selective with our tribal bias and vitriol.

Of course it’s a straw man argument. It’s guilt by association. And it’s mean.

People are people.

People are people. We’re all human. We’re all the same. We’re all biased. We’re all tribal. We’re all brilliant and creative and wonderful and capable of greatness.

Times are so hard right now. In crisis, the worst tends to come out—in all of us. I don’t think things are quite as bad as this article suggests. Too much focus on terrible things we can’t change day-to-day makes things seem even worse than they are. It’s not great for mental health, or maintaining a positive outlook. I worry a lot about our country too. I tend to worry most about what will happen if China becomes the sole superpower because of America’s unforced errors.

I hope you’re right.

I hope you’re right. But I doubt it—unless we can get better control over the virus. We might do that though, with a vaccine.

But it’s been very disappointing to see this level of incompetence as to a simple public health problem from the top levels of our executive branch.

The problem is that it’s logically incoherent to write about eight imaginary things that four billion people ostensibly said to one person.

Straw man

It’s taking offense to things that haven’t been said — and it stifles future speech based on gender identity.

It’s morally reprehensible. It’s tyrannical. And it has to stop.
