  1. What does it mean to level up? A helpful post by Aaron Renn. Also related to the concept of gravitas. Men need to grow in gravitas as they age.

    As you grow, as you get older, the game changes. If you want to have success at those higher levels, you need to make sure you are levelling up your own game.

  2. Against the “quality of life” arguments for abortion. This man’s family loved him and gave him the opportunity for a rich life.

    Paul’s ambitions were not limited by his condition. He learned breathing techniques that allowed him to leave the iron lung for a few hours at a time. He graduated college, earned a law degree and went on to practice as a courtroom attorney for 30 years.

  3. Do you have an inner monologue (video)? I’m talking to myself every second of every day. I can’t conceive of that conversation not existing. Neither can the guy doing this interview.
