Or three, or four... But the result any good debate is to evaluate the merits of all positions, and then decide where you are going to settle somewhere in the middle of it all. Sasha gave a one-sided extreme (fast-paced work cultures ruin your health and your children), and, for the sake of argument, I gave an opposing one-sided extreme (fast-paced work cultures benefit your health and your children), and I think we had some really good thoughts come out of it all.
