Can a person love more than one person at the same time? Why or why not?
Absolutely. Indeed I would hypothesize that this is extremely common, perhaps even more common than the opposite. I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too! -
What would you do if you had the power to know and control people's thoughts?
I already do! No, not in any sort of bizarre, mystical, or telepathic way. Rather, there are these lovely things called words, that people have learned to organize into larger structures like sentences, and use in orde… -
What causes people to cheat on their significant others?
I think this question is being approached backwards. It's pretty obvious what causes people to have sex with those other than their "significant others": the very same sexual attraction that causes them to have sex with… -
How would you accept rejection from the person you love?
This is not a contrafactual; not a would, but a did. I handled it terribly; I became angry, depressed, felt as if my entire world had fallen apart. I had naive and idealistic notions of love, notions that had far more ba… -
What is your stance on religion? Are you a religious person?
I am staunchly opposed. (My regular readers won't be at all surprised to hear me say this.) I am very proud to not be at all religious. Religion is anti-scientific; it is morally dangerous; and above all, it is factual… -
Should gay marriage be legalized? Why or why not?
I doubt my answer will surprise anyone who knows anything about me (my atheism, my political affiliation, or my sexual orientation would probably be individually enough): Yes, gay marriage should be legalized; it should… -
When you look at where you are in your life, are you "behind"? Ahead? Right where you want to be?
I'm roughly on track educationally, though the end is nowhere in sight. Two years of undergrad, probably four or five years for a doctorate, plus postdoctoral... and what about a second Ph.D? And part of me still wants t… -
If the money was good enough, would you endorse a product you knew was dangerous?
Never. I would never endorse a product that I thought had overall negative effects on the world. Perhaps I do so tacitly on occasion... I should endeavor not to. But certainly I would never do it actively, not even for m… -
How do you feel about the world's obsessions with weight, diet and beauty?
I think it's a more complicated issue than most people seem to make it. I agree that Western society especially is obsessed with the physical appearance of women especially, and I agree that this is very damaging, and I … -
How do you get over someone who doesn't love you back?
I wish I knew. I wish any of the simple answers people give would work. If love were rational, it would be easy; and so much would be better--so much less pain, so much less suffering, so much less abuse, so much less c…
