I listened again to the song "Do you love me?" from the play "Fiddler on the Roof." It gave me pause to wonder: Which is better, love or commitment? I think I'd rather someone be committed to my benefit rather than being in love with me. Is there even a functional difference? If a person is...

This is an example of something that annoys us gets twisted when the news isn't really about black people, but the media wants to make it about black people. It makes look weaker and more like victims of society than we really are. I've seen recent articles on lung cancer (because of the...

We saw that last night. It was...okay. My wife enjoyed it more than I did. I didn't hate it, but I wasn't enthused by it, either. The film touts itself heavily as a retelling of Job, although I'd call it "loosely inspired" by Job. It has a couple of Jobian lessons in it. But the lead...

There is a lot of unrelated information pile-on in the article generally to stimulate an environment of vague racial outrage, however, the first point the article makes is that the state’s Department of Children and Families should be organized by race or ethnic group because, presumably, nobody...

Warren Buffet, the "Oracle of Omaha" is, unsurprisingly, a great proponent of capitalism and free enterprise. But he acknowledges there is a problem with the current continuing concentration of wealth to a very small percentage of the population. He suggests two remedies...both of which...

So, the other night I used a Tascan audio recorder to record the sounds I make while I sleep. I put a battery pack on it so that it could run all night. Some initial things noted: I snore moderately loudly in the first half hour and the last half hour of my sleep period, but I'm quiet between...

My wife and I watched "The Burial" on Amazon Prime. It stars Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones. I have to say, it was very entertaining, funny, and even heartwarming. All the better, it's based on a true story of two very different men meeting at the heart. One thing I liked is that although the...

I've been thinking on and off for a while about how and why I accept certain things as true, or not...or just leave in what I call "epistemological abeyance." From my military training, I've learned to accept "epistemological abeyance" without stress. But it appears that ability is rare. It...

The erroneous presumption of this article writer is that ChatGPT (and other AI) is that AI engines are racist and sexist because of unconscious biases of the programmers (who are mostly white and male). That's a mistaken presumption. She's wrong...and perhaps exhibiting her own bias. The...

First, let me say that everything on the Internet looks more substantial than it really is, and this controversy is no exception. But when enough people don't dismiss such things and they go beyond the Internet, they can become embedded in the national zeitgeist like an instance of the Mandela...

I had misgivings about this movie based on three issues, but I heard such good early reviews that my wife and I went to see it so that we'd be able to critique it intelligently. First, as a movie, The Woman King is excellently produced and excellently acted. It's got a great "Hero's Journey"...

This isn't precisely an article, but: Maybe this is a joke group. It only has eight members. I notice there are two counter-groups: Christians Against “Christains Against The Little Mermaid” (support Halle) (67 members) and Humans Against Christian's Against The Little Mermaid (530...

Boston violated First Amendment in denying flying Christian flag, Supreme Court says (wcvb.com) That was a proper decision, and the fact that it was unanimous was a slam dunk for the Christian group.
