Some of us are lucky enough to learn lessons about personal freedom and goodwill early in life. If we live long enough, we get to see their value.
Exactly, but unfortunately they’re focused on impression management.

Detention used to be a reliable way to meet fellow creatives. I’m not sure if that’s still the case.

It’s a beautiful prayer. Thank you for sharing.

I wish people would pay attention to Christ’s literal teachings. There are so many creative, self-serving interpretations out there.

Ironically, all this controlling behavior makes them look progressively weak and brittle.

Claude is really good for analytical work. It follows instructions well, produces solid flow charts, code examples, and other technical output, and it doesn’t try to kiss up to the user.

I'll take it a step further...men feel that they're losing their cultural authority. This explains the ethos of revenge at the heart of alt-right movements.

This is an older article, but still relevant.

If they’re not getting validation at home, they will find it elsewhere.
