Like many people these days, I'm looking into ways to deal with, shall we say, changing world circumstances. This is going to be a condensed version of my thoughts on this subject: I'll probably do something more fleshed out later. Short version of our current situation: our civilization rests upon extremely complex, delicate technology that … Continue reading Quick Word on Disconnection

Brief Current Events Thought
I have not been blogging lately in part because I've been simultaneously preoccupied with what is happening in our country and desirous of avoiding exposure to it as much as possible. Even small dips left me so angry as to be nauseous. But through one or two trusted sources (there are only a handful of … Continue reading Brief Current Events Thought
Forgotten Man at the Everyman
My latest post is up at 'The Everyman,' where I touch a bit on the present attempted coup. Law has no force of its own. It only has what it is given by those in charge of enforcing it, whether directly (in courts and legislatures) or indirectly (through public opinion).

History and Compromise at ‘The Everyman’
My latest post at The Everyman is up, comparing our present world to Austria in the 1930s. It's depressingly apt. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: A virulent ideological movement is spreading through a nation’s institutions. It presents itself as the wave of the future, elevating those who have been beaten down, and … Continue reading History and Compromise at ‘The Everyman’

You know what makes me the most angry, looking back? The fact of being told so many times that I shouldn’t be. I should be sad. I should be aware of the complexities of the situation. I should have sympathy for those in other countries. But I shouldn’t be angry. I shouldn’t feel it personally. … Continue reading Patriotism
