Well, that really gets to the root of the problem—just because I go to school in Boston does NOT mean I should subscribe to this outrageous fanfare. Suddenly, my Cleveland ears can’t listen to “Sweet Caroline,” as I don’t don a Red Sox hat. Not only does Boston have a monopoly over Neil Diamond, but the fans can also be outright scary.

Science needs to abandon its practice of prescribing advice for society and return to its root mission of exploring the mysteries of the universe. After all, the best human life cannot be discovered through peer-reviewed controlled tests; it can only be attempted through zeal, a bit of good luck, and an earnest desire to make the most of existence...
