A dispute over a gambling debt

by Mark Young

All day deciding what aspect

ratio your videos should be. Even-

ing arrives. Time to post them

to social media. Then update your

LinkedIn bio so you stand out

from the crowd. Spend all night

wondering & worrying if you

should share the update with

your network. How often have

you thought or said this to your-

self out loud? "Incentives can be

used to maximize the survey

response rate." Only now you've

started on the path to becoming

part of a new species that repro-

duces by binary fission. The

dialogue surrounding non-

binary identities hasn't shifted.
