Why Most Internet Debates Are Just Verbal Blood Sport
Traditional online debates are designed for no one to concede ground and nothing to be resolved — just a slanging match where the 'winner' is whoever lands the best insult.

6 months to build studio
Chris's new studio in Austin took six months to build, and its launch was largely unannounced.
