- Comment on As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music? 6 days ago:
I think the difference is that as a kid music is forced on you from all kinds of sources: parents, friends, radio, etc. So you don’t realize how much time you actually spent just listening to new music.
As an Old, you probably don’t have nearly as much random exposure, i.e. you control when you listen to music now. Which means the answer to your question is that you have to consciously set aside time simply to listen to music. It may feel like a “waste of time” for each track you think is shit, but that’s just part of the process.
Good luck, and thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

So you’re saying that, if you’re traveling in space it seems like you could travel in time at the same space.
- Comment on Who to vote for? 5 weeks ago:
Hard to tell if these posts are trolls trying to encourage voter apathy.
But here’s an answer to your question. If the simple act of voting doesn’t seem effective, then you should engage more with the election process. Volunteering at your next local election is a great nonpartisan way to get involved. Or if there’s a candidate you really support you can volunteer with their campaign.
- Comment on The Great Hypocrisy of the Pro-Life Movement 5 weeks ago:
I think the author mistakenly assumes conservative politicians actually care about abortion. Abortion is simply the issue politicians found that will rally their base.
In order to implement the policies that actually hurt the groups they want to hurt they need votes. With abortion they had a single-issue they could use to get people to the polls.

Going out on a limb here, but seems like the same logic can be applied to the 22nd amendment (2 term limit) if it was challenged.
