The Sheeple, the Herders and the Rabid Wolves, Part II
As Walt Whitman said, “I contain multitudes.” I interepret this to mean that we are all many different people simultaneously. A parent. A child. A student. A teacher. A leader. A follower. We are just one or the other. We are ALL. If we can learn to think like this, then we can learn to…

The Prediction of Truth
Mike Tyson knocking out Marvis Frazier in 30 seconds is an example of truth. Hulk Hogan beating Andre the Giant is an example of truth by feeling. They are not the same yet we are being conditioned to believe they are. This is a problem for ALL. When we are kids, we are given books…

Math for many is and always will be the challenge subject. The problem is that Math runs our lives in many ways especially as it pertains to logic. From my seat, it looks like many do not have a basic understanding of Math and more specifically, probability and percentages. Here are some thoughts on the…

Assuming Context
Intersections are arrival points in which we cross paths with others on their journey. When we assume that their journey has been the same as ours, we assume wrong. All of us have a unique path and a unique way of seeing and interacting with the world. I like learning the stories of others. Do…

Static Faith vs Creative Religion
Like many, I find solace and peace in nature, and to me, nature is my connection to God and my faith in things bigger than me. But I am not static or rigid in my thinking, I believe change is adaptation is evolution is finding solutions and implementing them so things can be.
