Sloth...


"Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something."
~ author Robert Heinlein, from his 'Notebooks of Lazarus Long' in the novel Time Enough for Love

  2. No. As a man who has had a foot in both camps at various stages of life, and now alternates between both on a semi-regular basis, I’d say progress is best made by both. One without the other brings progress for a while, but then leads to stagnation until you shift modes.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
