  A comment on Talk: Philip Zimbardo: The demise of guys?

  Nov 19 2012: I've talked to many young men about the dating problems they face. They all tell me that they have a very difficult time getting respect from women their age. They tell me that they have turned to older women for that respect. I can't help but wonder if it's not that the older women are more respectful because of their age but because they are from a different era.

  A comment on Conversation: How important is it to you to take action on the basis of what you learn?

  Jul 28 2012: I look at every bit of knowledge as a piece of a grand puzzle. Every time I find a piece I determine where it belongs in the puzzle. Wisdom is the ability to put the puzzle together. As the puzzle grows with pieces of knowledge, I gain more ability to complete the puzzle.

• A comment on Talk: Gary Kovacs: Tracking the trackers

  Jul 27 2012: Not sure how accurate all the tracking is. On face book I have had adds for tools, train magazines, bed wetting products, and desperate men who want to date. I've honestly never clicked on a facebook add.

  A comment on Talk: Malte Spitz: Your phone company is watching

  Jul 27 2012: The harm of tracking is watered down by the illusion that it's all about advertising. Not many people are willing to take to the streets over adds.
