Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have th...

If we’ve learned anything about technology over the last few decades, it’s that we don’t prepare for the downsides until the problems are so egregious, we can’t ignore them. The obvious example is social media, which was hailed as utopian when it first arrived, but is now wid...

At first, astrology masks itself as control: wanting to know a good time to ask for a raise, or to move house. As a matter of fact, my interest in astrology also started with the pursuit of control. At the beginning, I wanted to know what was going to happen with my relationship. Eventually when ...

At first I imagined that each signal might be replaced by a robotic traffic cop who evaluated the number of cars waiting in each direction and made an informed decision about who would go and who would wait. The problem with that idea is that letting traffic flow in a particular direction in inte...

It gives me no pleasure to tell you that the fate of the nation might just rest on whether gas prices go up or down in the last two weeks of October.

My friends in Gun-nut Nation are all in a tizzy because Liz Warren has re-introduced a gun-control bill that she first stuck in the legislative hopper in 2020, and now has decided to try and get it passed again. The bill is being described by the pro-gun gang as being a ‘sledgehammer’ ag...

Cases of gun violence in America are countless. It’s horrific and sickening to hear about them constantly. America must take action. We cannot allow the blood of precious lives to be shed any longer. I will not stand by and watch my America be consumed by this violence. The world is pointing f...

On the other side, there are those who oppose any restrictions on gun ownership, claiming that they would infringe on their constitutional right to bear arms, leave them vulnerable to criminals and tyrannical governments, and have no effect on crime rates.

However, sinc...
