Great one, Sam. I’ve had a copy of “On Bullshit” in my bathroom for over a decade now (for obvious reasons). It’s classic for a reason.

When I did a relay swim crossing of the North Channel, our team motto was “HIC SVNT BOS” — for the same reasons you wrote about here (and the fact we all went to Tufts).

The story of John Paul Jones makes me wonder if the word “hardship” came from battle conditions and/or attributes of men who fight on ships during those times. Brilliant piece as always Sam
