It was my last night in Malaysia, on the way back from dinner. I stopped to get some fruit and a fresh coconut across the street from the hotel. While waiting for the salesman to harvest it for me, I couldn’t help but notice the contrast. To my left was…
I was looking into media psychology when my research led me to James F. Tracy, an ex-tenured Associate Professor of Journalism and Media Studies at Florida Atlantic University. He was fired in 2016 after accusing the government of hiring crisis actors for an incident that he didn’t think was real….
I love epiphanies, and I’ve been having more of them lately. While everyone is talking about Artificial Intelligence (AI), I’ve been learning how to grow different strands of beneficial bacteria, to rebuild my gut microbiome from the damage of antibiotics (see the book Super Gut by William Davis). I’m also…
I just found out that Javier Milei was elected President of Argentina. At first, I was surprised. Then a little excited to see some change on the horizon, until it occurred to me that I was being taken for a lamb. It isn’t the first time that I’ve been tricked…

Deep within our beliefs, ignorance is rejection of reality that doesn’t…
Last night’s sunset was tempestuous, and so am I. Watching the U.S. dollar rise yet again, while everything else falls faster and faster into oblivion, is unsettling to say the least. My blog is not religious, but I am a spiritual person, meaning I am affected by things that are…
As mentioned in the previous post, I read Who Really Owns Your Gold by William Garner. I also read Discourse On Voluntary Servitude: Why People Enslave Themselves to Authority by Étienne de La Boétie from the 16th century, edited by William Garner. I had to let these rest, marinate in…
I read a wild book this weekend…Who Really Owns Your Gold by William Garner (fourth edition). It was published in 2016 and has some intriguing facts about the gold market’s history, and history in general. No doubt, it’s a page-turner and made me think…deeply…about many things. I have no relationship…
