New England » anybody out there? » 6/26/2017 5:07 pm |
I know there's some free thinkers in my neck of the woods. Where you at? Boston? Portland? Burlington? I'm in Vermont. If you're within shouting distance feel free to drop a line...

PeterPotbelly- reading group sounds like a great idea. I just started Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari and he actually cites Sex At Dawn in the beginning of the third chapter. Have you read it? I haven't read Hierarchy but will certainly add it to the reading list.
Ophelia- Not knowing you it would be disingenuous of me to tell you why you should or shouldn't read Sex At Dawn. Or do anything for that matter. I would posit you this. Why does anyone read any particular book? Entertainment? Education? Escape? Respect for the insight of the person who recommended it? My take is that if you've ever struggled with the traditional relationship paradigm SAD might give you some understanding as to why. Personally, I would equate it to finding a couple of missing pieces (potentially significant ones at that) in the ever expanding mosaic of life. I learned a bit about who I am and where I come from in a sort of functional evolutionary sense. By assimilating that knowledge into my view of reality I was able to grow as an individual, thus mitigating some of the stresses of modern life. My best hope would be that by reading SAD you might have a similar experience.
TS party location? Dunno. Costa Rica in September looks promising
Always looking for good podcast recommendations if anyone out there has any
Canada » Any listeners in Montreal? » 6/13/2017 5:18 pm |
I'm just over the border in Vermont but my Dad was born in Montreal and I'm a Canadian citizen. I get up there fairly often. I would certainly hop the border for a meeting of the minds. I mean if someone was so inclined as to organize such an event

two cents from the clouds here but I feel like a tangentially speaking "army" is sort of an oxymoron. We're just trying to get people laid and spun, right? Last time I checked I didn't need an army to do that haha!

Thanks to whoever set this up. How cool would a Tangentially Speaking party be?
My name is Chuck and I live in a sleepy resort town in the northeast nestled into the eastern slope of the Green Mountains. I'm 34 and I work from home. So I never miss a podcast. I first heard Chris on Rogan maybe a year ago. Let me just say that I don't think there is a better time to be exposed to Sex At Dawn then right after a break-up. Talk about a soft landing. I've read it 3 times and it has literally changed my world. Obviously for the better Every time I read it I discover something new and profound. Has anyone else out there had trouble encouraging contemporaries to read Sex At Dawn? Between the title, the cover image, and the fact that I'm sure I sound like a bit of a zealot when I get all worked up about it... Well I think it suffices to say that its not a great sales pitch. I would post a photo but have no clue how to do it with a URL. Not exactly tech savvy up here in the Northeast Kingdom.
