Thought of the Day – 4/14/22

It is concerning to see how far the neo-progressives have shifted to the left. What people say about how the Overton Window has shifted is true. On many issues, it seems like the acceptable range of policy has resulted in the middle, or those who consider themselves classically liberal to be lumped in with the […]

The more that people use the “isms,” the less that they mean. I had heard an argument recently surrounding the “OK, Groomer” comeback when it comes to the Parental Rights in Education Law in Florida. The “left” (Neo-Progressives authoritarians) uses language in two fashions. They widen the meaning of pejoratives in order to include more […]

Thought of the Day – 4/12/22

Morning all. I’m back from a long weekend, and I’m feeling a little conspiratorial today (hence the tin foil hat). So, indulge me if you will. In China, they are dealing with a surge of COVID cases, according to CNBC, about 1200 symptomatic and 27,000 asymptomatic cases on Sunday. This is in response to the […]

I’ll keep this one short and sweet. People need to be allowed to fail. Societies need to be allowed to fail. There is immense gravity to comfort. And the more that we refuse to step out of our comfort zones, the shallower our lives become. We are on our way to a terrible awakening, where […]

Thought of the Day – 4/6/22

I’ve been thinking about mercy and grace recently. It reminds me of a passage from Orson Scott Card’s Speaker for the Dead. “A Great Rabbi stands, teaching in the marketplace. It happens that a husband finds proof that morning of his wife’s adultery, and a mob carries her to the marketplace to stone her to […]

Thought of the Day – 4/5/22

“In order to be able to think, you have to risk being offensive.” Jordan Peterson Within the world of social media, we are finding ourselves more and more in a world where we “offend” others. Those who seek power use this notion of offense to silence others. I remember the phrase “silence is violence” cropping […]

Thought of the Day – 4/4/2022

In all honesty, the idea of a social construct only model for our society isn’t a new idea. I was delving into the “two spirit” terminology, and came across the term Muxes. The idea is that in part of the Zapotec culture, there is a third gender know as a Muxe, or Muxes. These are […]

Thought of the Day – 4/1/22

I absolutely hate absolutes. I’m trying to stay positive about things, but the more I see things devolving into two tribal factions, the more I see absolutes filtering into our dialogue and the less room I find for valuable discussion and time taken for people of differing opinions to have substantive and profound conversations. My […]

Thought of the Day – 3/30/22

Biden promised that no one making under $400,000 (I’m in that category) won’t pay a single penny in new taxes. He is semantically correct. My taxes, as far as I know, haven’t been raised. But I’m now paying nearly $6.00 per gallon of gas, nearly double for my food, and more for my utilities as […]

Thought of the Day – 3/29/22

Let me show you three things that didn’t happen… At Best, the President of the United States must think we’re all idiots. At worst, he doesn’t remember that these three things have happened. Likely it is somewhere in between, which doesn’t sit well with me. But the White House has had to correct the leader […]
