Go Paint the Porch
Go ahead and paint the porch, clean the barn, clear the closet, cook the soup, even if you’re depressed and don’t feel like it. You’ll still have all the same problems when you’re finished but the porch will be painted.

Something Wicked Your Way Comes
What’s left is a pleasant and cohesive story that follows a direct and unsurprising plot, reminiscent of the 1971 film Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory but without the dryness or wacky turns. Instead, Wicked is pure kitsch and sparkle.
An Open Letter to Councilman Lincoln Restler
If you still stand behind these policies, I welcome the opportunity to engage in public dialogue about their impact. This could be a chance for both sides to be heard. Your willingness to participate would demonstrate confidence in your position.

Phrases like the Latino, black, or Asian-American vote are increasingly meaningless. This can only be good for the long-term health of American democracy, contrary to the hysterical warnings of its imminent collapse should Trump win.

Many of the early appointments represent the coming together of MAGA, MAHA, and DOGE, the fulfillment of decades of cultivation of disparate groups of dissidents who had not previously realized their common interests and common enemies.
Malcolm Gladwell’s Need for Critical Thinking
This man whom I thought a giant in the world of Critical Thinkers is shown to be a political Tribalist. It is the triumph of Postmodernism where nothing of real substance matters, only ideology and tribal allegiance.
Humanity Is Complex, Not Complicated
We should encourage decentralized diversity in thought and society, choose to respect the unpredictability of the future, have the wisdom to act cautiously and incrementally when appropriate and, at times, not act at all but rather to practice watchful waiting.
Death Is to Become the Lifestyle of Choice
If the world of opportunity and its wholesale suppression of death overstimulated with its production line of false purposes, then the current wholesale promotion of death enervates, eroding our very sense of purpose.
The Illusion of Expertise
Our challenge isn’t merely to reject flawed expertise but to cultivate genuine wisdom. The future depends on those who can navigate beyond the limits of institutional thinking, blending discernment, humility, and courage.
