[November 10, 2022] There is little doubt that the West has a serious attraction to “victimhood”; it’s believed to be a virtue and desirable. Richard Gunderman, MD, Ph.D., is an experienced doctor and serious thinker about the health of populations. He takes a strategic look at the West’s victimhood mentality in a recent article titled Pathologies of Victimhood.… Read More »
[November 1, 2022] Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard historic arguments on several legal challenges to anti-Asian race discrimination by Harvard and the University of North Carolina. What is most interesting was many “good people” took the position and are standing with those universities in support of policies that support race discrimination. That may be a bit of… Read More »
[October 23, 2022] For the last two days, I reprinted the last chapter of my newest book, “55 Rules for a Good Life.” The idea here is to have a teaser that perhaps will encourage you to purchase my book. Please order your copy today and give me an honest review on Amazon. Thank you! Today is part… Read More »
[October 20, 2022] This is not an attempt at humor. The question, “Do you want to change the world?” is the mantra of our Millenial generation (those born roughly between 1981 and 1996) but more broadly applied to anyone born after the Baby Boomers generation. At the same time, Millenials are overprotected, raised by “helicopter” parents and (metaphorically)… Read More »
[October 18, 2022] Lately, I’ve been reading about the waves of “suicide drones” attacking Ukraine cities. For example, an AP article (link here) described people scurrying for shelter when the explosive-laden drones come, and the drones come in waves. I believe most folks recall from history the Nazi V-rockets that rained down on England during WWII. The similarities… Read More »
[October 11, 2022] Shooting fish in a barrel. Yes, that is what I thought, too, when it came to light that LA City Council President Nury Martinez, a Democrat, made racial slurs against her colleague’s black son. Ho hum, no surprise. Another day, another political leader said out loud what they thought of the rest of us. This… Read More »
[September 14, 2022] It has been written repeatedly among those who study great leaders that one of their most sought-after characteristics is to unite people for a common cause. Such a rare capability is desirable in the obvious but requires great strength of courage, broad experience, and wisdom. To unite is the epitome of greatness. “Divide and rule,… Read More »
[September 11, 2022] Exactly 21 years ago today, on September 11, 2001, it was a day that it seemed the world stood still for a full day in all 195 countries on Earth. The victims of the terrorist attack that occurred in New York City (the twin towers), Washington DC (at the Pentagon) and Shanksville, PA. 9/11 is… Read More »
[September 10, 2022] Tomorrow is the 21st anniversary of the deadly terrorist attack on America. As many of us prepare for the ceremonies, gather with friends, and think about where we were and what we did that day, I’m recycling an article I wrote two years ago. It’s a good one, and there were many good comments. The… Read More »
[September 2, 2022] Jordan Peterson took time with Joe Rogan to discuss ideas behind the concept of equality of outcome (see link here for the video). In today’s article, I summarized some of his main points and, I hope, left in his theme that equality of outcome is technically unachievable and immorally wrong. “How much tyranny do you… Read More »
