Agreed. The content is not what I was expecting to read.

I’m sure that immortality was meant to be immorality , but the idea of British law prohibiting some Faustian bargain struck with eternal life on the line if the wager works in your…

That’s not a comparison to another person. That’s his job title . It is not uncommon for universities to have distinguished chairs within departments named after a notable person—i…

I always find myself sitting down to read Out of the Tar Pit [0] at least a couple times per year. It has been—and continues to be—one of the most seminal texts in my career. I sti…
