Particularly impressive (or confusing) to me are people that can find a
boundary on their paid work to pursue random scholarly things. (Scholarly in

The article is secondary, really. The writer, being a self-described
non-binary person, tapped my attention. Perhaps her preference for a certain
network of social intimacy is not a biological sex difference, but a
configurable hormonal one. She talks like she observes some reality that is

One could imagine kin-selection-ish arguments to that extent, which would
