The soul-crushingly young Jonah Lehrer was at Town Hall last night, his mere presence deriding our wasted time on the planet. At 25, he's been a line cook, a lab tech, and a Rhodes Scholar, and he's now an author (Proust Was a Neuroscientist), editor-at-large for SEED, and of course a blogger. (We were a pantry chef one night, and we learned how to "make" a crème brûlée with a propane blowtorch, but so far no Rhodes Scholarship, no book deal.) By contrast, Lou Dobbs was upstairs, giving inspiration for late-in-life windbags/rabble-rousers, so perhaps it evened out.
