Thought of the Day – 3/21/22

In all things we have a choice. I remember that when I was young, my mother told me that I cannot always control what happens to me, but I can always control my response. This point of view helps shape my life (in some ways better than others). On the bright side, I have learned […]

Thought of the Day – 3/9/2022

We are, as Bill Maher says, a silly people. We live in a delusional state of mind, believing that we can have everything with no cost or consequence. Here in the US, we want everyone to have a high-paying union job, free healthcare, electric vehicles for everyone, and all of our energy generated by completely […]

I listened to the State of the Union address last night, following it on Timcast IRL, and for the most part I thought that Biden attempted to rally everyone in a mostly non-embarrassing way.

Thought of the Day – 3/1/2022

Often times, I wonder what the whole point of conflict is, and to whom it all benefits in the end. To the soldier on the ground, conflict is survival. You versus the enemy. Your life is in your hands, and your ability to be aware of your surroundings, your tactics, and the trust you have […]

Thought of the day – 2/28/22

Peace has always been an illusion. Conflict is a natural state of being for human. We wage war with our own inner selves, our inner demons. We are at odds in our interpersonal relationships, sometimes fighting losing battles against things larger than ourselves. Peace has always been a temporary state. I, like many of my […]

Thought of the Day – 2/25/22

I have been thinking of purpose a lot recently. Generally, the purpose of the West has revolved more and more around the individual in an ever shrinking whirlpool of self-centered obsession. For much of Western History, there were larger collective interests that helped us forge nations, philosophies, and empires. Whether it was the rise of […]

Necessary Costs and the Value of Human Wellbeing…

Featured image from the San Diego Union Tribune. I don’t know what the article is about because it is hidden behind the pay wall, but feel free to check it out if you are so inclined. The environmentalists won when Biden was elected, and now we are seeing the fallout from those early administration policy […]

Thought of the Day – 2/23/22

I think that this administration is overwhelmed, out of touch, and way over its head. And this state of being, the constant feeling of everything crumbling around them, would lead them to hold on with an iron grip to the few things that they can control.

Hello From the Other Side…
