Luck and success

The New Neo Posted on March 5, 2018 by neoMarch 5, 2018

Surprise! The New Yorker has a mostly positive article about Jordan Peterson

The New Neo Posted on February 28, 2018 by neoFebruary 28, 2018

Take a look. The following quote is in line with something I’ve observed as well, which is that Peterson speaks in an unusually measured, solemn way that comes across as exceedingly thoughtful. His every utterance appears to emanate from a … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on February 10, 2018 by neoFebruary 10, 2018

It’s called 12 Rules For Life: An Antidote to Chaos, and it’s been #1 for much of the time since it was released on January 23, 2018. As I write this it has over 600 customer reviews and, astoundingly, almost … Continue reading →

The left’s alternate reality

The New Neo Posted on January 31, 2018 by neoFebruary 1, 2018

The difference between these two speeches is abundantly clear: Trump offered bleakness, hostility, bigotry, and division. Kennedy offered hope, honesty, integrity, and unity.#SOTU — Charlotte Clymer???? (@cmclymer) January 31, 2018 Made me think of the first paragraph of Hans Christian … Continue reading →

Time’s acceleration

The New Neo Posted on January 8, 2018 by neoJanuary 8, 2018

I don’t quite buy this, although I do think it’s harder to experience new things as one gets older. Or, at least, new fun things: The older you get the more the days seem to fly by. Why is that? … Continue reading →

Baby, it’s not cold outside anymore

The New Neo Posted on December 20, 2017 by neoDecember 20, 2017

[NOTE: Hat tip: Instapundit. The title of this post’s a riff on my recent piece about the Frank Loesser song “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” But this topic is very different.] It was a long and frozen wait—twenty-four years, to be … Continue reading →

“Everybody knew”

The New Neo Posted on December 6, 2017 by neoDecember 6, 2017
