I think, far too often, we bundle ideas together and then make it inseparable. We do good ideas a disservice when we do this. Good ideas are not dependent upon other ideas. We can extrapolate individual components of a theory or philosophy without taking the entire idea wholesale. This is the difference between critical thinking and […]
Self Defense?
You can say anything on the internet. But sometimes the things you say have serious consequences…just ask Rosanne Barr. Sometimes, the things you say will just mean that you’ll either have to defend saying something stupid, or walk back your comment and admit it was dumb. Let’s say you decide to say something stupid. Something […]
The Attention Paradox
Without attention, you are publishing to yourself in cyberspace. Your words will lack weight or consequence. When just one person gives your their attention, the potential energy of your words grow. If they share your words to their networks, the results can grow exponentially. The more people give you attention, the more your potential impact […]

Time Release Advice

One Mile
The thought of running a marathon, 26.2188 miles, to me, is absurd. The thought barely makes sense to me. You mean to tell me that humans can run that far without dying?! The thought of starting a daily vlog is laughable. I tried last year, I made it 19 days and quit. It was a […]
I lost the big idea
