Our opponents want us to be unhappy. Will we cooperate? Despite what we might be inclined to think, there are relatively few universal commonalities in this world. One of the most important ones is: EVERYONE is motivated by happiness — from Putin to Mother Theresa! There is within every soul a thirst for happiness and meaning. — Thomas Aquinas […]

Last week, for the first time, a major state formally rebuked one of the core elements of the Left’s scheme to undermine our education (see below). If other states are paying attention, this could be the beginning of an extraordinarily significant awakening and rejection of the stranglehold that the Left now has on our K-12 education […]
For this US July 4th Independence Day, I’m suggesting: let’s look at the positive. Here are some of my favorite patriotic songs… 1 – Jimi Hendrix: The Stars Spangled Banner (the sound effects he is able to make with a guitar are beyond mind-boggling) — 2 – Ray Charles: America the Beautiful — 3 – The Mormon Tabernacle […]

What’s going on in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) area, will have profound societal consequences. Some (of many) questions are: Will AI be a societal net benefit? Will we be able to identify and avoid the worst AI negative aspects? Etc. This is the first of my four-part series about AI, where we will try to […]

It’s easy to be confused about this, but don’t be fooled… The Left has an aggressive campaign to undermine America. Some people will be surprised to find out that one of their primary targets is Science. There are several reasons for this — for instance, that Science is a gatekeeper against bad technical ideas. Why that is […]
Are there any scientifically proven NET benefits from either? This will be brief, as I’ll cut to the chase. A journalist recently asked me the following thoughtful question: “I’m working on an article that looks at the climate impacts of wind energy. There are some studies linked below (and you likely know others), that show […]

Better Late than Never. Since this column is about Critical Thinking, it seems appropriate that we at least do a periodic, quickie overview of how to think critically… Not surprisingly, most people label themselves as critical thinkers. But are they? Likewise, most teachers contend that they teach Critical Thinking. But do they? The concept of critical thinking is […]
The putrid education matter that you have likely heard very little about. The Left is masterful at word manipulation. They have the skill, experience, and interest to massage the vocabulary to make a horrifically bad idea sound appealing. (Think “Green New Deal.”) However, the success of their deception depends on one other ingredient: the lack of […]
