A Guide to Understanding the Ideas of the 21st Century
It has been quite a long time since I’ve done a book review. And that’s not to say I’ve not finished any books recently, because I have, and many of which I would have loved to sit down and write something about, but I just didn’t feel that push to do it. I’m not sure…

It’s been a while since I wrote on here, and I’m not even trying to make this post particularly long. I’ve just realized that since my life has begun to improve, almost with inverse correlation has the time I’ve spent reflecting. Funny enough, the reason for me want to write comes from a podcast I…

If there were two little words that I’ve probably used more than any other two words, it would be these: “I’m sorry” You might already know where I’m going with this, especially because of the title, but I want speak on this topic anyway.

The one thing I’ve learned over the past several months more than anything is this: People are weird. Now, this doesn’t seem like a surprising thing to say because let’s face it; people are weird. There are a lot of weird people out there. But the truth of the matter is this, most of the time, your…

I’m reading a book called The Coddling of the American Mind by Jonathan Haidt, and although I’m not too far into it, I came across a part that really struck a chord with me. It was a speech by the Chief Justice, John Roberts. You can find it here: Chief Justice, John Roberts But I’ll go ahead…

I haven’t written in quite a while. I think it might be two weeks since, and I apologize, if anyone is actually paying attention to me. I’ll tell you that there’s been a lot going on in my life, much more than I’m comfortable or willing to share, other than simply that there really has…
