When It’s Your Time to Get Coronavirus
Reading Time: 2 minutes The Philippines have had universal mask wear AND a strict lockdown, yet cases are surging and now exceed 6k a day.

The solutions and prescriptions it proffers, however, are destructive and divisive. Something to consider: In the 19th and early 20th century, the belief that there were different “races” of Europeans was popular. What if Critical Race Theory came into being in 1910? Would…
The Danger of Idea Laundering: Mein Kampf and Social Justice
Reading Time: 7 minutes In essence, idea laundering works through systemic infiltration of ideological malfeasance in the peer-review process.

Seeing What I Want to See
Reading Time: < 1 minute It’s been said that when you want something the most, it’s the easiest opportunity for deception, because you’ll see what you want to see. And that’s the rub.

It’s cheating yourself out of ever fixing YOU. As Dr. Dan Ariely noted…

Perhaps they act like bees, and…
