Not to mention, there are more and more reliable ways than ever to be not-bald if that is your preference. We’ve long held a preference for eliminating the middle ground. To do so is to reject both nostalgia and fatalism in favor of living in the present moment, whatever that looks like. Balding in real time rejects the rigidity of either/or as well as the gluttony of both/and. Living in neither one space nor another isn’t heroic, exactly, but it is honest, transparent, real.
