Megan Fox at Hollywood Life Magazine’s 7th Ann...

Here are this morning’s:

* The universe in our own back yard — body type preferences not the same across cultures — evolutionary assumptions based on Western samples

* More on medical marijuana — further evidence that marijuana-based drugs can treat some kinds of pain — although maybe not all of them

* It’s math all the way down — mathematical abstractions are real like a mountain — they’re just there

* The domestication of human beings — if we’re following the bonobo or dog pattern, we’re moving toward a form of ourselves with more and more juvenile behavior — tooth size is falling, jaw size is falling, brain size is falling

* A cheap attempt to justify running a picture of Megan Fox on a neuroscience blog — something about personalities, I didn’t really pay attention — I would never do something so cheap (and neither would the New York Times Magazine)

    About Me

    I'm a freelance writer and blogger based in Brooklyn, NY. My background is mostly in politics. I've worked on the editorial boards of the New York Sun and New York Post. In 2006, I wrote a book, "The Elephant in the Room: Evangelicals, Libertarians, and the Battle to Control the Republican Party" (Wiley). I've also done my share of freelancing, for places like the Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times, Reason, and RealClearPolitics.

    These days, I'm interested in humanity's ever-expanding understanding of its own irrationality. Hence, this blog.
