Discussion: Parenting and Outsourcing Responsibility

So if some Australian parents are two-people workers… And you are saying you don’t even have “time for” making their lunches, so you’re pushing to get the American Cafeteria in school… They go from childcare to kindy to school, bed by 7, and you as a parent are stating on the comment section of the ...

Thoughts on Roe v. Wade Overturned

My condolences to the people who are shocked about Roe v. Wade being overturned. Some of you may think we are going backwards, but that isn’t true. This went exactly as was anticipated. We have a compound mode of government that allows each individual state and local government to decide on its own laws. The ...

Thoughts on Meditation

Although I am a fan of many books on meditation, buddhism, and mindfulness, I still feel disdain for how meditation is discussed and taught.

Wisdom and Contempt

Something that really bothers me is when I read from a “scientific” source who make inaccurate assumptions with false if/then conclusions.

Jordan Peterson Does NOT Have Schizophrenia

The Sunday Times recently put out a hit piece slandering the victim of medical malpractice. It’s a big scandal because the subjects—Jordan Peterson and his daughter—recorded the interview and released it so you can clearly hear that the journalist straight up lied and misrepresented them at every opportunity.
