Tim Kreider: Fourteen years ago I was stabbed in the throat. This is kind of a long story and it’s not the point of this essay.The point is that after my unsuccessful murder I wasn’t unhappy for an entire year.
I wish I could recommend this experience to everyone. The catch is that to get the full effect you have to be genuinely uncertain that you’re going to survive. The best approximation would be to hire an incompetent hit man to assassinate you.
