Whenever you use historic models, the housing market is going to be underestimated, and I think this is what has happened here.

adult authors desire follow readers relationship teenage whose work
Teenage readers also have a different relationship with the authors whose work they value than adult readers do. I loved Toni Morrison, but I don't have any desire to follow her on Twitter. I just want to read her books.
best hard smaller surely tax
Those big things are hard to do under the best of circumstances. Surely there are smaller things he can do, such as with the tax code.
thinking ironic important
There's not a lot of room for un-ironic emotion in contemporary culture. I think that irony is an important tool in dealing with the world as we find it. It's a tool of protection, but it can also be a tool of incision to get to some truth. But along the way maybe we've lost some of what I think of as the power of straightforward emotion and earnestness and seriousness.
jobs thinking people
The way we still essentializ, we're constantly essentializing people as merely poor, or merely other, and in the end you can't have a relationship with people. I think the biggest job of adulthood is to learn to imagine other people complexly.
book keys passionate
I change my keyboard between every book. I usually shop around. I'm very passionate about the physical feel of pressing the keys. It's got to have the right springiness. I tend to find the built-in keys very unsatisfying, the keys are low-profile and don't really do anything - I want it to feel like I'm typing.
teenager culture passionate
I'm interested in Internet cultures. I'm interested in what the teenagers who drive the Internet culture are passionate about. I follow their lead - they go to tumblr, I go to tumblr.
teenager wrestling thinking
I think teenagers bring a lot of intellectual sophistication. They're wrestling with big questions. It's just that, a lot of times they do that separately from adults.
thinking sick alive
When we think of death, we often imagine it as happening in degrees: We think of a sick person becoming less and less alive until finally they are gone.
miracle consciousness humans
The miracle and hope of human consciousness is that we can still conceive of boundlessness.
thinking hopeful nihilism
I think all true stories are hopeful stories. I don't think there's any room for nihilism.
pain thinking joy
I think that it's a universal urge to have our pain not be felt alone and to have our joys not be felt alone.
