Question of the Day/Open Thread 11/10 |

Question: I was in the gym yesterday and suddenly wondered whether we are simply addicted to doing repetitive motions (better still, in unison with groups of people). Have we been conditioned by the industrial age, and now that we’re “post-industrial” we can only get our fix through aerobics?
This is an open thread for matters far more important than aerobics. Have at it.
Bush and Merkel pledge diplomacy regarding Iran:

So, diplomatic solutions to Iran mean…more isolation and sanctions? I’m not totally against sticks to get Iran in line, but what about some carrots too? Throw in a reward for good behavior, you know?
You were at the gym?
