  • Doing Nothing? In a Trance? Recipes for the End of Humanity

    From time to time, I read articles defying any semblance of rationality. They are, in a nutshell, absurd and some frightening. My immediate impulse to rebut is thwarted because I either missed the deadline to respond or no opportunity to comment exists. This article is my opportunity to rebut! I bear no malice toward the […]

  • Second-Hand, Third-Hand, Vicarious Trauma

    Second-Hand, Third-Hand, Vicarious Trauma

    I’ve been helping my friend from another country navigate the legal system, green card in hand, and a husband who attempted to suffocate her to death. The people in both camps — defense and prosecution — are interestingly together bedfellows, working the “system” hard, juggling which judge is this or that (pro- or con-), and […]

  • Finding Reconnection through the Power of Human Touch

    The famous “rescuing hug” I was recently reminded of the incredible story of the “rescuing hug” photo (above). To sum up the basics: Kyrie and Brielle Jackson were born on October 17, 1995 — 12 weeks ahead of their due date. Kyrie weighed only 2 pounds, 3 ounces. Brielle was even smaller and far more […]

  • The Only Thing Evil Can’t Stand is Forgiveness

    “Do you know what forgiveness means? It’s a decision we make to release a person from the feelings of anger we have against them.” These are the words of Fred Rogers. Yeah, as in “Mister Rogers.” You know what else Fred said? Try this on for size: “The only thing evil can’t stand is forgiveness.” […]

  • Aggression, Guns, and Marcuse

    Better not knock on the wrong door or drive into the wrong driveway, you may get shot. Kids are afraid to go to school for fear of getting killed, as the body count from mass shootings climbs every day. Hate crimes are increasing, and just driving to work is potentially dangerous. Think of tailgaters honking […]

  • Why Marxists Need Darwin

    Why Marxists Need Darwin

    Orientation Most people who call themselves Marxists will tip their hat to Darwin and then move on. They laude his theory of natural selection for why species go extinct. They will support his gradualist theory that change is slow in the biological world. Of course, they will celebrate how humans evolved from the ape line […]

  • Always Wanting More

    Always Wanting More

    “Always wanting more” is an operational definition of “hedonism.” This brief article is my “mea culpa.” Inexplicably, I overlooked hedonism per se as a trait in my “psychoscope” of the evil superpower elite in America’s corpocracy.1 In my defense, I did briefly allude to “greed” as an outgrowth of ambition. Why “Always Wanting More?” The […]

  • The Causes of Dogmatism

    The Causes of Dogmatism

    Orientation In part I of this series, following the work of Judy J. Johnson in What’s so Wrong with Being Absolutely Right: The Dangerous Nature of Dogmatic Belief, we identified dogmatism — not as the content of a particular ideology but as a process of thinking, emoting and acting. We distinguished dogmatism from fanaticism and […]

  • Why Would Anyone Ever Assume We’re Not Being Manipulated 24/7?

    So many people I know get very defensive when I discuss the plandemic machinations. They either can not accept that manipulation is the standard operating procedure for those in charge or that they would ever be gullible enough to be tricked on a regular basis. That’s when I tell them about the Gruen Transfer. Victor […]

  • On Human Nature: Thinking, Believing, and Seeing

    What is our very nature as human beings? Philosophers, poets, psychologists  and other human beings ad nauseam down through the ages have addressed that question. Is it presumptuous or arrogant of me to chime in with my two cents? Or make it three cents since I will “only” tackle three attributes of human nature; thinking, […]
