"If you are not willing to be a fool, you can't become a master." ~ Jordan Peterson
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 […]
Read More Thought of the Day – 3/21/22I don’t know about you, but I think we’re in for a lot of pain and suffering in the near future. The economy is trash, thanks in large part to the record spending induced by the federal government during these two plus years of “fifteen days to slow the spread.” Our monetary supply has exploded, […]

I am going to be small minded for a moment, but this leads to larger events, and then some even larger ideas. Elie Mystal, writer and commentator (and user of […]
Read More One Man’s Trash…I like to describe myself as a “giver.” In relationships, and in life generally, what brings me joy and happiness is seeing my partner happy, or that others are happy.

Read More Necessary Costs and the Value of Human Wellbeing…Featured image by Eddie Adams of the AP. Jack Dorsey is out at Twitter, and it seems like we’ll look back fondly at the time when only some people were censored by the machines and algorithms.

Read More The Cult will come for you…We are dying as a nation. Our values have been left unwatched and unguarded, like a house long abandoned. We barely see the foundations, it is full of cracks and breaks, of mold, mildew, and mice. The exterior is dilapidated and the interior is dust ridden. And yet we live in this squalor, refusing to […]
Read More Liberty Vs. LibertineFeatured image from the Office of Congressman Paul Gosar. Let me start by linking to the original post from Rep Paul Gosar, Republican from Arizona’s 4th district.
