Pro-freedom discussion which AVOIDS Coercion and Hypocrisy. This is a consistent application of postmodernism to reveal subjectivity/perspective. The goal is NOT to determine right or wrong, rather to explore better ideas to make nearly everyone satisfied if not happier. The goal restated is de-escalation through innovation.

Talking about Syria with my 7th and 8th graders today made me think about Sun Tzu and his work "The Art of War". As far as I can tell, America is doing everything Sun Tzu explained as the way to lose and go bankrupt. It is pure arrogance on the part of America to think that they can ignore the lessons of the past and continue on this path of self-d…

Sunday is Jesus Day... my voice is back to where it sounded this past Monday, so please bear with me. I am happy because I am audible once again. My whole week was lived with a whisper for a voice. Believers are supposed to aspire to "achieve" the righteousness of God. Just how do we do that while avoiding all of the pitfalls of sinful emotion? Ble…

Sunday is Jesus day. I apologize for my voice... I'm still a bit sick. But I made it through the morning service and the podcast. So, God does not choose like people choose; he chose the weak of the world to be his people. What does this mean and what are the implications for us today, a world full of authoritarians? Peace and Blessing to you.…

An Ayn Rand quote I posted 10 years ago popped up today on my social media, and I thought it would be a good topic for today's episode.

Her quote is quite insightful, and I have posted it below. "Thanksgiving…

After a sick day, back in the recording chair to share my subjective thoughts on the Fall of MSNBC and its kind.

Sunday, Jesus Day... and Thanksgiving Sunday. The apostle Paul exhorts believers to be thankful in all things.

This episode is inspired by a short paragraph in my 6th Grade History textbook. It's about the prosperous Minoans from the island of Crete. It is a civilization which the modern world didn't know about till the late 1800s and early 1900s. Studying and understanding how they created wealth is a great argument against war and violence.…

So, Russia responded to the Ukrainian missile strike, and they did so emphatically. The west and Ukraine are escalating, and Russia is trying to show that this not a game.

I like to listen to a variety of podcasts one of which is The Jimmy Dore Show.

I can't find where I said it before (was it in my head?) but I thought I said that Trump looks like he's in "martyr" mode. He's willing to suffer even die for his belief in America.
