I can think of one example of a woman I knew (back when I was single) who seemed to be signalling to me that she wanted me to "poach" her by telling me she had a boyfriend. I think…

I hate this about human nature: the fact that resources are available to those who don't need them and denied to those who do. It seems that most people have a tendency to kick oth…

I've thought this should be done, approximately as follows: Basic income starts at $0. Each year that the economy grows, one-half of the amount of growth (in dollar terms) is redis…

No, I expect that, and I'll have had girlfriends before her. That's normal. Hookups and one-nighters, on the other hand, are sleazy, unnecessary, and detrimental.

Correct, especially if he wants academia. It's not as bad as it is for MBA, law, or (at the extreme) humanities PhD programs. In those fields, it's not even worth going if you can'…

Maybe it's best to accept hook-up culture for what it is I can't do this. I haven't met her yet, but I value my future wife enough not to have sleazy hookups while I'm young. It's …

College is a great time to take the next, probably awkward step with the opposite sex. If you don't, you're stuck learning those skills while you're in "the real world", a setting …

You can't pick out the good ones if you haven't been with a few bad ones. I don't think this is true. I know some people who luck out on the first try. Also, I know a lot of people…

I find it hard to believe that anyone would accept a multiple liquidation preference. I'd seriously consider it better to shut down than to stay in the game for the benefit of inve…

If he wants to go to graduate school, grades matter as a necessary but not sufficient condition. However, if he's a promising student, he'll have no problem getting the requisite g…

I'm 34 now. Nobody has cared what happened to me in my early 20's since I was about 25. I think college is less relevant, in a constantly changing social and technological environm…

Agreed, although it's easier to reinvent oneself shortly after college (in my experience) than in college. Socially, college is very similar to high school. Real life is radically …

I think chasing women is a terrible use of one's college years. The women are mostly immature and have terrible tastes in men. Better for him to recognize that he probably won't me…

This is the advice I would have given myself at 18: Don't fret girls and relationships. I'm serious. Focus on making friends (male and female), working on interesting projects, and…
