My Frustration with Christians and Politics

The Truth About Truth and Fake News
Let’s talk about truth, opinions, bias, mistakes, theories, conspiracies, fake news, and satire. Recently, an individual who had unrestricted access …
Why Interruptions Are Bad
They’re obviously rude and annoying. It’s apparent to the other conversationalists and any audience. It’s also increasingly frustrating when it’s constant.
We’re Proud to Be American, But For All the Wrong Reasons
We’re proud of our past instead of our progress. We stake our identity in the past and cling to it, rather than forging it in the future and shaping who we can become. We make the Constitution into an impermeable truth that holds us back, rather than engage with it as a living document intended to be changed as we move forward.
Freedom vs Safety: What Matters More?

I Vaccinate My Child Because I Failed Medical School
I choose to vaccinate my child. It’s because I failed at pre-med. It was too hard for me, so I know how ridiculously smart nurses and doctors are who make it through. That’s why I trust them.

A lot of media outlets don’t really understand it. Based on Mark Zuckerberg’s hearings, Congress certainly doesn’t understand it – or how the internet works for that matter. And most people, probably you included, don’t understand it.
