TAKING A RATIONALIST APPROACH to dating and marriage.

A couple of thoughts: My experience is that the more you let people talk, the more fascinating they find you.

In my own dating experience, when I was a junior in college, after a breakup in what counted as a long-term relationship then (almost 2 years) I read an article advising men to simply ask out every woman they found attractive as a way of building confidence. It’s much easier when you think of it as practice, and I asked 6 women out over the next few days and got 5 yes answers. I wound up dating one of them for a while, but the lesson learned was that confidence works, and being turned down is no big deal.

And the girl I broke up with? I met Helen through her. So everything turned out well.

MODERN FEMINISM IS ABOUT POWER, NOT EQUALITY: “In other words: If a bunch of angry women were to go off and start their own math thing, nobody of import would care to join. So she wants to recruit/compel/shame a bunch of men to start a high-profile project and then hand over the reins to a bunch of angry women.”

THE BUREAUCRATS GO AFTER ELON MUSK: Report: SpaceX’s Boca Chica Plans Face Serious Objections from FWS, NPS. “The problem: the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and National Park Service do not agree that launching the world’s most powerful rocket will have a non-significant impact on federal and state-managed wildlife refuges and national monuments that surround the Boca Chica launch site. Without their sign off, ESG Hound says the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) can’t approve the plan using an ongoing environmental assessment that it aims to complete by Jan. 31. A more complicated and lengthy environmental review would be required. resulting in years of delays.”

There are no coastal launch sites that aren’t surrounded by “environmentally sensitive” areas. The question is whether Elon will work the system, or do something that basically tells the system to fuck itself. Either is possible.
