but I will never read them

haha

however I'll read your blog more

personal experience?

yeah I guess

wikipedia, blogs, various books I read by chance

or parts of books

ok do you mind if i post a short wiki article

feel free

like Haidt, I read his book

not important but yeah

i could never be a parent
