Hello everyone, it has been a very long time since I have wrote anything, hopefully I can write a little more regularly now. I thought I would try to write something over the current hot topic that seems to always spring up from time to time, the topic of abortion. It has sprung up recently …

Inefficient Cancel Culture
I wanted to talk a bit about cancel culture. Specifically how we all participate in cancel culture whether you are on the right or left politically speaking. Right now it seems like if someone or something (organization, entity, corporation, etc.) messes up and gets “cancelled” there is nothing they can really do to be forgiven …
The Is-Ought Problem
Our world has become unneccesairly polarized, espicially since COVID-19 hit. Our world was obviously polarized before it hit, but somehow dealing with a worldwide pandemic has worsened it, not made it better.

One thing that has become obvious during this is that each group has their own parallel world. This has never been more …
What is this and why am I doing this?
I have noticed that the political discourse has been reaching dangerous heights recently. We have all broken out into our tribes where the only thing we seem to care about is how to make the other side look worse. I typically refer to myself politically as a conservative libertarian. Although I have heard people refer …
