1-The TX GOP campaigned on removing the teaching of critical thinking skills from school because they "challenge fixed beliefs" in 2012. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/post/texas-gop-rejects-critical-thinking-skills-really/2012/07/08/gJQAHNpFXW_blog.html 2-That's so ignorant it's evil. They're trying to educationally cripple entire generations of children. 3-It's more about maintaining the status quo I'd argue. People in positions of authority who crave the power are … Continue reading A Conversation: Forced Ignorance – How To Cripple A Nation

End Of July Thoughts
• Economics/economies have existed since before humanity, and exist outside of humanity • Often times an offer matters more than an action, whether out of care or consent. Following through with an offer is even more important. • The power of mortality is that gods can never truly understand it, for they can never experience … Continue reading End Of July Thoughts
No Longer A Choice
I especially have a problem with this election because we don't even have two choices this time. We should ideally have upwards of five or more legitimate candidates, but this election is "you either vote Democrat or you let Trump destroy America." I feel like I'm being held hostage. I don't believe in the Democratic … Continue reading No Longer A Choice
The “Red Button” Moral Dilemma
Something that has recently started to interest me more is what I'll call the "red button" moral dilemma. It's the one where they ask "there's a big red button in a room. If you press it, you get a million dollars, but a random person you don't know dies. Do you press it?" Whenever I've … Continue reading The “Red Button” Moral Dilemma
Mid-July 2020 Thoughts
• The universe has no obligation to explain itself to you • What is sanity other than a shared perspective? • Our minds are an ever-expanding container of infinity • The purpose of (*some) art is to not have a purpose. By having no purpose, it becomes a reflection of self. Any meaning derived from … Continue reading Mid-July 2020 Thoughts
Life & Fairness
Life is neither fair nor unfair. Life is life, and it works exactly as it's supposed to. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's wrong or unfair. Complaining about life doesn't invalidate its purpose/function. If you see something you don't like, use the mechanics of the life to create a picture of the … Continue reading Life & Fairness
An Imaginary God
"God" is the embodiment of the imaginary aspects of our universe, but that doesn't mean "God" doesn't exist. For instance, take imaginary numbers in math. Imaginary numbers aren't "fake" numbers. They are used to describe the physical world in a way that real numbers can't. One set of numbers is not more valid than the … Continue reading An Imaginary God
Traveling To A Different Reality – Intense And Vivid Dreams
[Dream occured on 8 June 2020, from ~1:30 - 7:15 AM] I was transported to another world. And this was the first time I was fully grounded and present in it. This was the first I've felt a true fear for a long time. I truly feared for my life. It's hard to explain. It … Continue reading Traveling To A Different Reality – Intense And Vivid Dreams
I’m tired
I'm tired of the confidence born from ignorance.
Recent thoughts on inequality, injustice, protests, etc. (in progress)
• I don't believe in choosing between a lesser of two evils. If we actually want to fix our problems instead of putting on a bandaid, we need to choose good. It's not about winning or losing; it's about working together to bring good back into the world. • I remember protests happening in the … Continue reading Recent thoughts on inequality, injustice, protests, etc. (in progress)
Anthology: Mental Health – Don’t Be Ashamed Of Your Feelings
Preface: Our Neglected Mental Health Mental health is one if the most neglected aspects of our lives. It can only help to learn the warning signs and the healthy ways to address them, but the taboo nature of mental health introduces an unnecessary sphere of discomfort around the topic. People are masters of ignoring things … Continue reading Anthology: Mental Health – Don’t Be Ashamed Of Your Feelings
