Magic Numbers and Homework
Busy work is a waste of time in the classroom and out. Repetive work is not. It’s sometimes just what the doctor ordered. It helps us keep pace with our peers. And today in 2022, we are moving quickly towards a smaller more specialized global workforce in which those that are hired are the most prepared. Homework is one tool in the aresenal of a teacher to achieve this goal.

Academia is like the Dominoes of Pizza or the Kraft of Cheese
We are watching daily a trial that for all extensive purposes is occuring because an Academic viewed herself as a Teacher. Academics are not teachers. They live in a place that is inaccessible by design by most. Politics is one by those who speak to the people, not above them.

Stamina vs Insanity
The sane can clearly see solutions. The insane have the stamina to block them. We may want to stop giving more power and voice to the insane including polticians and grandparents who use single use plastic bags. Crazy is winning

America’s Gun Mental Healthcare Crisis
Politicians lie. That is their job. They lie so that they can placate those below them and do the bidding of those above them. If, for a minute, you think that there are not those enjoying American violence as entertainment then you need figure out how to look under the hood.

The 5th Commandment vs The 2nd Amendment
We all benefit from evolution whether or not we see or accept it or not. Man’s primary evolutuionary tool is the ability to think and reason. One plus one equals two. Math that is the answer. Math rarely lies. The only time it does is when the user makes a mistake. American Guns have a similar story.

A 22 and a Damned Invasion
One life lesson that is hard to accept is that even though many want to do more to help, they are unwilling to give up what they have in the now for a future that may well indeed be more bleak. Do your best with what you have and enjoy the now. It is really all we have in these uncertain crazy times.

The Death of the Library
We should learn a lesson from libraries, the place where we seperate fact from fiction. There is a line that demarks what is real and what is not. Without it, we all just become users of fancy believing that stories are real and real is a lie.

David Terrorizes Goliath
I like to be awake and see even when the view is painful and processing of the view even worse. It is when I am most alive I reckon. Like attacking like has never sat well with me. Boys sent to fight other boys for the sake of those who never struggle. We are headed somewhere. I would prefer the destination to be bright, not dark.

Branded by Convention
Do you think leaders want you to read? to draw your own conclusions and paint your own story? or do you understand that they don’t. They want conformity. It is the easiest way for them to lead. Without work. By blind acceptance of artificial truths.

Wildfires and the Virus
Wildfires very quickly get out of hand just like a virus and left unchecked, will leave nothing but scorched Earth in its path. Every year, thousands of heroes risk life and limb use the tools available to them to stamp out wildfires. Why are we not as colletively interested and diligent towards Covid?
