Liberals, MAGA, Charlie Kirk, Elon Musk, and “They”

At some point we must come to grips with the reality that what we label social media is inherently anti-social. Call it what you want: algorithmic bias, behavioral engineering, engagement-driven design. I’ll call it what it truly is: an evil cancer against our society and humanity itself. Because anything that systematically profits from turning neighbors into enemies deserves nothing less than moral condemnation.

How to Think Clearly

Be True to Yourself

I believe the happiest people are the ones who do enough critical thinking to discover their nature. And then live their life in accord with it.

Give Yourself an Energy Audit

I’d like to suggest you think about energy. More specifically, conducting a thought experiment that we will label an Energy Audit. We know that everything in the universe at its ultimate level is energy vibrations. Energy has a monumental, vital, and determining role in the level of prosperity you manifest in your life.

So it was no surprise that as I negotiated a deal with a drug dealer for the sixth time, for the sixth time he asked me if I was an undercover police officer. After assuring him I wasn’t, he produced an 8-ball of crystal meth, which I accepted and replaced with the cash.
