The concept of “whatever floats your boat” comes into play here.

Better give up on that tap water and indoor toilets, too.

You don’t really live longer in colder wilderness climates, it just seems like it.

OK...
God forgive me, I wasted a few precious minutes of this life that He has given me reading that dreadful, self-indulgent article.
The author is dreadfully neruotic.
Is “ Reihan Salam” a him, a her, or an it?

Slate magazine caters to the crowd who think that society would be more fair if we each lived at the expense of everyone else, and that everyone must obey our wise overlords. If our wise overlords think you will be more healthy if your house is kept at 50 degrees in the winter, that is what everyone will have. If you disagree, then government won’t pay for your health care like they promised they would.

“My dearest wish is to one day have the pleasure of living in a small cabin in the frigid wilderness. There I will spend my nights covered in heavy wool blankets, eating smoked fish and dried fruit.”
I suspect if he did get his wish, he would find, in the words of Mr. Spock “having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting.”
Meaning this twerp would probably bear up in the frigid wilderness worse Joel Fleischmann did in the first season of Northern Exposure (remember that show?)
As for turning the heat down, talk to the White House first. They’re the ones who told us we can’t keep our thermostats at 72 anymore, but crank theirs up to 76...

I prefer to keep the indoor temps down. We coddle ourselves too damn much these days anyway, and there are certainly health benefits.
Don't bother trying to convince me to keep the A/C off during the summer though. ;)
