Reading Time: 3 minutesThe United States of America, long a leader in troop deaths in never-ending wars, has become a laughing stock among nations in the past years as it has sought to draw-down troop numbers and conflicts.

Dr. Darla B….

Reading Time: 3 minutesYou can’t awaken someone who is pretending to be asleep. You also cannot have reciprocated love with someone who is only pretending to feel. Throughout my life, I’ve often found myself wishing that I were a robot, so that I wouldn’t have emotions—I was always impressed by Data in the regard. That wasn’t possible, but I created a facsimile of it, wherein I blocked off letting myself feel connected to…
Reading Time: 2 minutes“This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.”
Reading Time: 3 minutes “How to Have Impossible Conversations: A Very Practical Guide” is a great book.* The authors have noted that academia (including the most prominent medical journals) is subject to an increasing assault whereby science is replaced by social justice. (They famously had a number of bogus studies, including one which won an award, published in academic journals to highlight this insidious trend.) The authors are also concerned about so-called “virtue-signaling” and…
Reading Time: < 1 minuteLucas gives a talk on how he used nature to dwell on God and himself, and improved his mental and spiritual health…and how that convinced him to change his “stinkin’ thinkin.” How is cognitive behavioral therapy tied to repentance?

But when simplification renders the message inaccurate, the mission is harmed.” —Dr. Heather E. Heying While I was on a quick, 24-mile hike with an acquaintance, she commented that I would talk about things which “made no sense.” While they made plenty of sense to me, and I was conveying correct…
Reading Time: 6 minutes“There is a delight in the hardy life of the open. There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy and its charm. The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased and not impaired in value. Conservation means development as much as it does protection.”…
Reading Time: 4 minutesTruth and morality tend to be tied together; without truth, there tends to be no morality, at least so far as anyone can elucidate as being objectively codifiable. One benefit of backpacking, at least for me, is that I can listen to a variety of bright folks (well, Dr. Jordan Peterson would probably contend that I’m listening to a variety of people with PhDs, among whom some are bright) talking…
