I’m not interested in clothes and am pretty much a T-shirt-and-jeans person, but I feel very strongly that the black-and-white one is far superior.

We’ve built an academic system where it’s normal to go from kindergarten to PhD without ever seriously reading Savage, de Finetti, or Ramsey. In any other age, such a person wouldn’t be considered educated at all.

If you’re gloating over someone’s death and can’t muster the self-control to keep it off social media, you’re not ready for a grown-up job. Outside a few “special” sectors — academia, journalism, and entertainment — that kind of impulsiveness is a glaring red flag.
