Recently, someone was telling me about one of his friends who married an attractive woman. At first, it sounded good, but he said it actually was a disaster for his friend. He said the man’s wife was obsessed with expensive purchases.

Not everyone sees it this way, but I’ve always thought it was weird to hear people say that they were “proud” of their race. Like really? Why? It’s not like you had anything to do with their successes. George Washington, Steve Jobs, and Aristotle were all white, but even though I’m white, I didn’t make them successful.

ChatGPT, Grok, Midjourney, Google Veo, and the other AI tools out there currently aren’t going to destroy the world. They’re not even dangerous. At this point, they’re really nothing more than fun toys, advanced learning aids, work helpers, and a way for kids to cheat on their homework, which isn’t ideal but isn’t exactly a 5-star problem either. In other words, currently, the benefits of AI are likely to dramatically exceed the liabilities. Sounds good, right?

Liberals have romanticized political violence for decades, but the violent rhetoric during the Trump years has been off the charts. Calls for violence and lawbreaking are so normalized on the Left that most people are numb to them at this point. Worse yet, that kind of bad behavior is ENCOURAGED by prominent liberals. Calling for violence, harassment, and lawbreaking is how you gain credibility among liberals, not how you lose it.

I was a psychology major and one of the things I’ve always been interested in is why people do what they do. Sometimes, it’s pretty obvious. For example, a once famous bank robber by the name of Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks. His memorable response was, “Because that's where the money is.”That’s why I’ve always found aberrant behavior particularly interesting.

In the movies, “evil” corporations are one of the standard villains. Some of them are just outright evil like The Umbrella Corporation from the Resident Evil Franchise. Others could better be described as merely foolish, like Cyberdyne Systems, the company in Terminator that built an advanced AI that ended up launching a war against humans (That one feels a little too close to home these days, doesn’t it?).

If you’re having big issues in any area, one of the things it’s often smart to do is to go back to First Principles and see if you’re missing anything. Does that fix every problem? Nope, but you’d be surprised at how often your problems are a result of simply getting away from the basics that got you to where you are. America certainly fits that definition.

Liberals romanticize political violence aimed at their enemies. They rhetorically encourage it right up to the moment it happens; they coddle and protect the people who engage in it; and they often outright reward them for breaking the law. This has been going on for a long time. For example, Barack Obama’s relationship with Bill Ayers was controversial for years. If you weren’t paying attention to politics in those days, you may be wondering who Bill Ayers was.

It’s not a big secret to say that men are not great at talking about their problems. For one thing, whining isn’t manly. Second, and more importantly, most men have correctly concluded that almost no one gives a sh*t about their problems. The attitude is, “If you have a problem, then you should ‘man up,’ tough it out, and solve it.”Maybe it’s because I’m a man, but I don’t even think that’s a bad thing much of the time.

There was a time when people feared that the human population would continue growing until we ran out of resources. These ideas were popularized by Thomas Malthus and later by Paul Ehrlich. The idea was that like say deer, who have no natural predators in an area, the human population would swell and grow until it got out of hand. Of course, now we can definitively see that the OPPOSITE is happening.
