Keep Reforming
Monday, August 29, 2011
I’m grateful for the widespread response this series of blogposts has generated, including all the feedback we have received from people who disagree about certain points. Yes, a few vocal critics have replied with mocking or misrepresentation, as if to illustrate the validity of some of my central concerns.

The Marks of Immaturity, and How to Keep Growing
Wednesday, August 03, 2011
Selfishness is one telltale sign of immaturity. Babies are completely self-centered. They scream if they don't get what they want when they want it.
