The Muse is a Dominatrix

Sometimes, I think the Muse is into chastity play and orgasm denial, seeing as how she loves to tease you with ideas. She’ll drop one in your head, just long enough for you to get a whiff of its sweet scent, then yank it back out of reach. You struggle to remember the idea, but the Muse is relentless. You remember where you were when it came, who you were with, … Read entire article »

What Kind of Smart Person Are You?
Labels can be a way of limiting ourselves to a category, but they can also be introspective. Remember that the labels we’ll look at aren’t discrete categories, but rather general areas of focus. Most smart people belong to some extent in all categories, but specialize in one or the other.
Scholars focus on research.

You discuss rimming, lube, g-spots, and prostate massages. You try to slip one in after another — good arguments, that is. In the end, you both agree to disagree. We’ve all been there before — that … Read entire article »

Everyone’s met the haughty pronunciation Nazi who insists on correcting our pronunciation of foreign words. In academic circles, you’ll often hear, “It’s ‘neechay’, not ‘neechee’ or ‘neeshee’.” I don’t speak German, but I’m pretty sure any native German speaker would laugh at their “proper pronunciation”.

How To Deal With Stupid People
Stupid people have an amazing talent to induce nerd rage in smart people. How do we deal with them? Perhaps we can deal with them by dealing with ourselves.
What is Nerd Rage?
While most definitions of nerd rage include the image of a German kid yelling at his computer, there is a more general rage that builds inside smart people when they deal with stupid people.
Do You Nerd Rage?
Do you feel like punching … Read entire article »
