So R taught me how to use a chainsaw, and I spent half of each day as a Maine woodsman cutting down trees. Then I got on a bike and rode around the park and hiked.

I wish it was acceptable to do this as a secular person. Seems like a great way to appreciate life more.

Yeah I think this was more my point. Not that it isn’t possible to find people exchanging a place to sleep for work, more that it’s hard to justify with taking a time out from career, and family obligations, and student loans.

Hi Zanny,

Big Economist reader here.

What are your thoughts on the prevalence of "listicles" in online journalism?

Understanding that content like this drives the traffic often required to keep online publications alive, do you find it to be detrimental to strong reporting in a world that needs insight over entertainment?
