  • The Sacred Loss of Time
    Time is running out and we cannot stop our expiration. Time-shifting and time travel are not remedies against the hourglass. The mechanization of light has transformed us in various dark, and monstrous, ways.

  • Moral Corruption and Contempt
    Contempt is the enemy of We The People. Unfortunately, contempt is also the fashionable moral moment of decay today! There is a secret to dealing with, and removing, contempt in society, and you are invited to join this conversation about avoiding the contemporary rot of us.

  • The Six Most Calming Words
    We arrive safe from danger with these six simple words. We calm ourselves, and each other, with the direct dignity of truth. Here are those six magical words held together in a single sentence...

  • Not All Ideas Are Equal
    We have been falsely led to believe all voices matter. They do not. Some voices are practiced liars shedding the truth to cast dismay and doubt into the warp and woof of society. We stand alone in this fight to amend the record with reality because there's too much money to be made on the side, and too much power to be had in the middle -- and the uncharted result is the propagation of an untruthful plaster.

  • Digital Lives Matter: The Dry Run to Decay
    We live to thrive to be remembered beyond the rattling grave. The great human equalizer today is the ability to publish -- and to not be ignored or dismissed.

  • The Problem with Telemedicine
    Seeing a doctor online should be easier than visiting one in person. Unfortunately, that is not yet the case when it comes to Telemedicine.

  • The Playhouse
    Community theatre brings people together -- for a price. Fame and glory do not arrive cheap. Making a name in the local theatre community often involves volunteerism, sacrifice, and a need to be recognized that transcends the economic logic of the day. The local Playhouse needs your blood, and mind, and the price you pay is -- not getting paid at all. Is the risk worth the salvage?

  • Tired of Being the Bigger Person?
    Here's a manifesto against deconstruction. Are we excused from being the better person because of petty disassociations from reality? If we do not offer shade on a sunny day, or protection from the rain in the gloaming -- who will? It is up to us, not them, to provide a comforting morality that is not just debased or actually superior, but merely, equal.

  • Who's Sarikaya Komzin?
    The Office lives among us. The lesson that television show teaches us is to know what questions to ask, and how we should choose to answer inquiries about character, motivation, fame and reticulation. We may not be funny, but we can always choose to be better.
