I saw a video of Jack on Upworthy this morning. Interesting kid. I read several articles about him. Someone at Forbes said they didn't include him in their "30 under 30" list, because he'd never published in a peer reviewed journal, nor were his numerical claims correct. I thought that...

Here's the situation: I have a friend, who just told me that one of her good friends is pregnant at 19. The part that really strikes me is that she sounds as if she is happy about it, and is cheerfully picking out names and things. I recommended that she buy her friend a book on teen...
