The Kalfas study falls short. By relying on short-term, industry-funded data and ignoring the lived reality of withdrawal, it downplays a public health crisis hiding in plain sight. Starting an antidepressant is easy. But stopping can be the hardest part.

The stand that Father Hughes took was striking, not just for its defiance, but because it was so rare. I ask myself why didn’t other priests, pastors, and ministers stand up against this tyranny like Father Hughes did.
I’m grateful every day for those two months. I’ll never forget them or regret them. Solitude leveraged with strategic self-developmental learning beats TikTok and social media addiction any time of day. I recommend it as the best Return On Investment.
Our prime task is the unglamorous—and for many in this culture that worships action for action’s sake—unsatisfying task of circling back to things like love, compassion, friendship, touch, and sincere dialogue that lie at the core of being human.

We are in the middle of what may be the biggest fertility crisis in the history of mankind. The governments of many European countries have the data that would unlock the mystery. Yet, it seems that no one wants to know.

I want to address a new strain of an existing challenge – emotional regulation. Imagine a 15-year-old boy and the challenges he has with impulse control. Now imagine a 13-year-old brain in that body. What would be the expected result?

The person most associated with civil disobedience is Mahatma Gandhi. In effect, he instrumentalised, operationalised, and weaponised Thoreau’s concept of civil disobedience (1849), turning it into an effective technique for peaceful mass mobilisation against a powerful opponent to win independence.

Reality has been shattered into billions of pieces, each one perfectly tailored to fit someone’s worldview. The same event triggers different movies in our heads. The same evidence proves opposite truths. We’re not just disagreeing—we’re living in different universes.
How did government vigilance against lethal attacks like 9/11 culminate in the claim that critics of public health measures were terrorists? The bulletin ignored the possibility that trust in our governing institutions had been undermined was the policies themselves.
