I believe we are currently having the wrong argument against fossil fuels. We need to focus on why a giant company would not want renewable cheap clean energy. If I was a fossil fuel comp, I would be trying so hard to discredit information that makes my resource less profitable.

I have an idea. Someone should push an unpopular bill through congress that doesn’t help the majority of the country, that doesn’t offer any real evidence of success other than hopes and prayers, and completely ignores what people actually need. That sounds solid.

I found this to be a transformative and insightful discussion. One that helps explain how children, like the ones that I teach daily over my 19 year career, have changed and what we can do to start to remedy it. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I am lucky to get to make music everyday. It has taught me a great deal of truths. One such truth is that you can enjoy a lot when you intently listen. The more intently we listen the more likely we will understand how to react to the sounds we hear and find the beauty in what others have to say.

When learning to be a musician, we train ourselves to listen intently and respond in real time. Every moment becomes a beautiful negotiation—serving the shared intent of the music.

We need more musicians🎵

I have absolutely zero patience or grace for adults who do not read and follow directions.

Sorry.

Thought for the day:

You tend to become what you think about—so think about what you want to become. Perception shapes what we see.

Thought for the day:

To think critically, you have to be open to the possibility that your current thinking may be wrong. That’s the difference between a thinker and a follower. What’s true today may change with more clarity.

More thinking before following.

It’s my hope that critical thinking can become a social norm🤓
