https://montrosetractatus.wordpress.com/2015/06/13/are-you-tired-of-studies-saying-loneliness-will-kill-you-so-am-i

Welcome to the Montrose Tractatus– a site for political and social commentary. Are you tired of studies saying loneliness will kill you? June 13, 2015. July 13, 2015. Another psychological study doing its very best Dick Cheney impression. If you don’t eliminate. Loneliness, you’re gonna die! March 25, 2015 marked the first time I’ve seen a major online publication, Psychology Today. Question something that has become, through the power of repetition, a widely held truth. Let’s just say, I have more...

Daily Kos diary: Why “Generation Sell” bothers me – The Montrose Tractatus

https://montrosetractatus.wordpress.com/2011/11/14/daily-kos-diary-why-generation-sell-bothers-me

Welcome to the Montrose Tractatus– a site for political and social commentary. Daily Kos diary: Why “Generation Sell” bothers me. November 14, 2011. November 14, 2011. This concerns a New York Times piece that was recently published in the New York Times about the Millennial Generation, “ Generation Sell. But Millennials have a danger lurking beneath the surface that could undo their ideals; and it was spelled out for me in that New York Times. At first blush, I liked what I was seeing: Millennials see s...

Being rejected means you have no proof you can socialize well. – The Montrose Tractatus

https://montrosetractatus.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/being-rejected-means-you-have-no-proof-you-can-socialize-well

Welcome to the Montrose Tractatus– a site for political and social commentary. Being rejected means you have no proof you can socialize well. July 30, 2015. July 30, 2015. We have some big hangups about free choice and consent in social relationships. (And sexual. Too, but that’s a story for later.) And the title of this post is a big reason why. If not the biggest reason. The other reason seeing a Yes as a sign of our good people skills, and a No as a sign of our ineptitude is a big mistake? I don&#8217...

Those gut instincts everyone says to trust in? They’re sexist (and racist, and classist) little buggers. – The Montrose Tractatus

https://montrosetractatus.wordpress.com/2011/10/24/those-gut-instincts-everyone-says-to-trust-in-theyre-sexist-and-racist-and-classist-little-buggers

Welcome to the Montrose Tractatus– a site for political and social commentary. Those gut instincts everyone says to trust in? They’re sexist (and racist, and classist) little buggers. October 24, 2011. November 14, 2011. The root of all evil is not money. It’s something more basic. More to the point, it’s something that makes us feel so good, so comfortable and healthy and right. How could it possibly be bad? The people who most remind us of ourselves. Which has looked, uncritically and almost uniformly ...

Why we should be VERY careful what we’re conflating with emotional intelligence. – The Montrose Tractatus

https://montrosetractatus.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/why-we-should-be-very-careful-what-were-conflating-with-emotional-intelligence

Welcome to the Montrose Tractatus– a site for political and social commentary. Why we should be VERY careful what we’re conflating with emotional intelligence. July 8, 2015. July 15, 2015. Anyone who has caught my postings elsewhere on the web knows that I feel a bit cautious about emotional intelligence. To name a few reasons:. The way it enjoyed universal, unquestioned approval for many years;. The way it, indirectly, holds up status-quo seeking as the most emotionally healthy attitude;. As if nothing ...

Saying “I’m just not a sales-type person” is not an option, when every job is a sales job. – The Montrose Tractatus

https://montrosetractatus.wordpress.com/2015/08/30/saying-im-just-not-a-sales-type-person-is-not-an-option-when-every-job-is-a-sales-job

Welcome to the Montrose Tractatus– a site for political and social commentary. Saying “I’m just not a sales-type person” is not an option, when every job is a sales job. August 30, 2015. August 30, 2015. My response to the latest Marty Nemko workplace column on Psychology Today:. Plus, sales skills have long been a proxy for good people skills in general, so how many employers are just going to prefer a job applicant who likes or is good at sales? So it’s not just about whether you’re a &#822...Even as a...

First post on The Tractatus: Amen, Graduate Fog. – The Montrose Tractatus

https://montrosetractatus.wordpress.com/2011/06/11/amen_graduate_fog

Welcome to the Montrose Tractatus– a site for political and social commentary. First post on The Tractatus: Amen, Graduate Fog. June 11, 2011. June 10, 2011. What a breath of fresh air to find Graduate Fog. Boy, as bad as things have been here in America, it looks like the Brits are having it far worse. I mean… unpaid internships for. I’ll just let my first comment. With GF speak for itself:. I have a sinking feeling I know what employability really means. It’s someone who will turn off their dignity...

Great news today – The Montrose Tractatus

https://montrosetractatus.wordpress.com/2015/06/25/great-news-today

Welcome to the Montrose Tractatus– a site for political and social commentary. June 25, 2015. July 13, 2015. The Affordable Care Act upheld, 6-3. AND… even better: Texas Dept. of Housing vs. Inclusive Communities. Upheld 5-4 with Kennedy joining the four Democratic-appointed justices. Both cases were worrisome. But the ACA’s case was a bit less so. King vs. Burwell. Was founded on so ridiculous a premise, such a feat of mental gymnastics, that on some level I thought it couldn’t possibly. One good way to...

Welcome to the Montrose Tractatus– a site for political and social commentary. Sexy people bring in more Benjamins… even in high school sports. July 25, 2011. August 3, 2011. Has an excellent post up about the creeping sexualization of women’s high school sports– about how this rare bastion of freedom from pressure to look sexy is now losing it. The most important point Hugo makes is here (emphasis mine):. The last thing we need in a recession is what’s happening right now– a greater and grea...If showin...
