On Remembering Science Fiction

I remember growing up on some of the most respected science fiction films of all time. Forbidden Planet, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The day the Earth Stood Still, The Time Machine, etc. I also remember Star Trek. I recall how so many issues relevant to the time were presented using science fiction as a [...]

On Being a Good Parent

I have thought long and hard about approaching this subject. There will be some that will say that since I have never been a parent, I have no right to say anything on what it takes to be a good parent. However, my response will be that I have been someone’s child and that gives [...]

On Personal Responsibility

I have often wondered what the personal responsibility of a writer, musician, newscaster, or even blogger is when the information they communicate is interpreted in a way they did not intend.

On Free Will

Does free will exist?
Or is it a figment of our cultural imagination that we are taught exists because we live in a society that we are told is “free”?
I have often wondered about the nature of free will, as a thinker, and as a practical philosopher.
We are so indoctrinated from infancy to accept so many [...]

The truth is men masturbate way too much!
It’s not that there are men walking around with hairy palms, it’s just that it creates the problem that too many men can’t cum without in the end choking their own chicken necks, till it spits.
The purpose of having sex, I presume, should be for greater intimacy with [...]
