Anyone wanting to know the truth would not behave in ways that make damn sure they never will. Give me a grade-schooler at breakfast and I’ll have this cleared up by lunch: As they haven’t yet “learned” to look away from the obvious to deny the undeniable. youtu.be/WO86PeAV9Jc

It’s a mighty fine day when you wake up to high praise from a man of Glenn Loury’s caliber—twice! He once called my writing “brilliant,” was “honored by it” & “blown away” by my site & signed up. He wasn't too keen on the truth when I took his hero to task youtu.be/WO86PeAV9Jc

Claims of critical thinking are everywhere but I can’t find these things anywhere: Reasoning, evaluating, analyzing, problem solving, and “stopping to organize and evaluate the information we are receiving”: a.k.a. critical thinking. youtu.be/WO86PeAV9Jc

“I wish a buck was still silver.” I wish a lot of things & with certainty we’ll be in sync on some of ’em. My generation got off easy, as all we were called to do was weigh information. But even that was too much of a burden. As we got more we became less. youtu.be/WO86PeAV9Jc

“Worrying is a cheap replacement for caring. Complaining is a cheap replacement for fixing. Outrage is a cheap replacement for supporting. It’s easy to tear down. It’s much harder to build up.” That perfectly sums up the shallowness of our times: youtu.be/WO86PeAV9Jc

“Understanding develops by degrees.” Do we need an Egyptian proverb to point out how understanding has worked since the dawn of time? Apparently, as when challenged on calcified “convictions”—apologists act like they’re incapable of understanding anything. youtu.be/WO86PeAV9Jc

To claim that Iraq WMD wasn't a lie should be like saying we didn't land on the moon. As I wrote & produced the most exhaustive documentary ever done on WMD, I would know. It wasn’t just “deeply flawed” — and in 5 minutes alone, you’ll see that in this excerpt from my doc: youtu.be/X9Si5T2EmZA?...
