    Episode 431: Never punish people for doing what you want (the power of shaping)

    Episode 431: Never punish people for doing what you want (the power of shaping)

    If someone is actually willing to make the effort to do what you want, then under no circumstances should you ever punish them for doing so. It is a much better idea to focus on the parts that they are doing right than to emphasize the (potentially many) parts that they are still doing wrong. By rewarding successive approximations to the target behavior, you can leverage the power of shaping. I discuss more in this episode.

    Episode 430: Every woman is two women (exploring the wild west)

    Episode 430: Every woman is two women (exploring the wild west)

    Every woman is (at least) two women: the public-facing persona that she shows the world, and the bedroom persona that she shows her lover. Treating the one like the other is likely to result in complaints and hurt feelings. Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to glean reliable information about the bedroom persona by observing the public-facing persona, which complicates dating for both men and women. I discuss more in this episode.

    Episode 429: Being famous is like being a woman (musings on a haircut)

    Episode 429: Being famous is like being a woman (musings on a haircut)

    Though I’m not particularly famous, I have noticed a number of changes in how people treat me since my channel became popular nearly a year ago. And these changes have overwhelmingly been positive: many men and women now go out of their way to show their appreciation and respect. However, this has taken some getting used to, since -- as I explain in this episode -- this is the first time in my adult life that people I don’t know have shown me kindness. Ultimately, I conclude that being famous is like being a woman.

    Episode 428: The court does not deal in trifles (most things aren't worth your time)

    Episode 428: The court does not deal in trifles (most things aren't worth your time)

    One of the reasons the Supreme Court can give for deciding not to hear a particular case is that ”the court does not deal in trifles. Prioritizing the insignificant above the truly important is not only wasteful, it is disrespectful. Liberally granting your time and attention is like printing more money: the subsequent inflation only serves to devalue the circulating currency. This means that it is essential to learn how to say ”no.”

    Episode 427: How to drop a handkerchief (women initiate relationships)

    Episode 427: How to drop a handkerchief (women initiate relationships)

    Women must take an increasingly active approach to dating as they age. They do this by reclaiming their power to initiate interactions with men. By ”dropping a handkerchief,” women signal that they would be amenable to an overture, which significantly alters the risk-reward profile of a cold approach. In this episode, I discuss one way women can do this: the ”come hither stare.”

    Episode 426: The business of suffering (every solution needs a problem)

    Episode 426: The business of suffering (every solution needs a problem)

    In this second episode of a two-part series, I discuss the economic incentives driving the West’s epidemic of mental illness. Given certain regulatory requirements, it is generally easier for drug companies to receive FDA approval if their products treat disorders that do not already have a treatment of demonstrated efficacy. This motivates the proliferation of new disorders and an ever-widening definition of pathology. By definition, more and more people become mentally ill, who will be offered treatments that have already been created for them.
