The Catacomb Diaries

A Jew and a Catholic walk into a bar... Living in Singapore my exposure to the Jewish people and their faith has been rather limited.  On this week’s episode of On My Mind, I am joined by Yael Gluck @yaelgluck , a proud Jew, Israel Advocate and American Patriot.  In lieu of Israel’s Independence Day, we talk about all things anti-semitism, how it has evolved, foreign aid to Israel, and what on earth Palestine is.  This week’s episode was a bit longer but it is definitely worth a watch.

Life is unfair. The only thing we have that is equal is our humanity. And we look out for one another not because we have to, but because it is the right thing to do. • Singapore is definitely not socialist. But it definitely has elements of socialism. • In this episode, I talk about perspective, and the consequences of over-reliance on the government.

People are saying a lot of different things regarding the whole #COVID 19 situation, but what’s really going on in our hospitals? In this week’s episode I am joined by Justin Hartges @thehelpfulhawk • Justin is a Phlebotomist from Michigan, a state with one of the highest number of COVID-19 cases. We talk about what he’s seeing on the frontlines, government intervention vs. individual responsibility, and the Michigan protests.

This episode summarised: The Truth: Raw, Uncut, and Mildly Savage. • I have always been open to criticism, but I’d very much prefer, if people actually criticised me for what I AM, rather than what they simply perceive me to be. Be it out of ignorance, or lazy stereotyping.

In this week’s episode, I talk about how my ideas differ from many different groups of Singaporeans, and the importance of civil discourse, featuring an idea introduced to me by Marissa Streit , CEO of PragerU

Correction: PAP: People’s Action Party, not Association.  In this week’s episode I talk about why I’m grateful to be in Singapore in these uncertain times, touch a bit on the political climate, and compare collectivism vs. individualism. If you had a choice between safety or civil liberties, which would you pick?

In this episode, I talk about why I have decided to end a project I've been working on, and why helping yourself before you try to help others is fundamental when it comes to making change.

In this episode, I talk about how gratitude can often be used as a virtuous-sounding excuse for giving up, and how individual purpose is now more important than ever in today's nihilistic culture.
