Endurance activities, like distance running, have existed since ancient times. But humans’ relationship to those pursuits has changed, according to time and place. In the West, we’ve currently turned endurance sports into a science — tracking every metric and chasing personal records through sophisticated technology and personalized training plans.

Philosopher of the Heart: The Restless Life of Søren Kierkegaard by Clare Carlisle. If you’ve been following the site long enough, you’ll know that Kierkegaard is one of my favorite philosophers. Based on reading his texts, I deduced that Kierkegaard was an odd duck. Reading Clare Carlisle’s biography of Kierkegaard only cemented that impression.

There are few more potent symbols of confinement than the straitjacket. And few more potent symbols of liberation than escaping from one. Which is why doing so was one of the most thrilling spectacles Harry Houdini employed in his act.
