This simple yet powerful phrase has been embedded in our very being, ensconced in our personal constitution. [...]

I’ve loathed this guy for years, and it all started with one song: “Your Body Is A Wonderland“.
Excuse me? Shut up John Mayer.
Where the hell did you come up with that phrase, and why did you turn it into a catchy song that gets stuck in people’s heads!? It’s [...]
