Secular Sunday – We Have 180 Catalogued Brain Biases That Are Not Compatible With The Modern World

Of particular relevance to the atheist typing right now is the idea that even if you lose religion, you will find some other tribe to give your life meaning – for me, that’s progressive politics and hockey fandom and other things that go beyond “I like this” to the secular equivalent of religious tenants such […]

Wisdom Wednesday – Rebuilding The Working Class

Saw the story I’ve copied below online and it made me think of the current Federal NDP Leadership Race where this is a major topic of conversation. It was also in the first provincial NDP Leadership race I was involved in where I got introduced to the term “Granholier Than Thou” as someone who was […]

Saturday Snap – How Sad Is It…

…that the free evening skate time at a local arena has about a million times more diversity than our recently re-shuffled Provincial cabinet which isn’t exactly “From Many Peoples Strength”?

Secular Sunday – When Ted Turner Asked Carl Sagan If He Was A “Socialist”

“Socialist” being used as a slur isn’t a recent phenomenon… When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave an answer that redefines what it means to be a civilized society. It isn't about politics or ideology. It is about how we treat the most vulnerable among us. pic.twitter.com/s52TLO42fB — Saganism […]

Secular Sunday – Grifting, I Mean, Grieving Widow?

Charlie Kirk’s wife husband was violently assassinated three months ago. I’m pretty hard on religion and a lot of people are saying her “grieving” isn’t appropriate. But if I’m being completely honest, if she’s truly a hardcore Christian Evangelical, I’m guessing that there’s nothing deeper here (literally) than her thinking that her husband dying was […]

In 2-3 Years, AI Will Mean There Is Basically No Way To Tell What Is Real and What Is Not

This is a huge problem. (I think I’m fairly tech savvy but I’m already having situations where my kids are saying “Dad – that’s AI!” They’re more skeptical but will they get sucked in too as it ges better and better?) In 2–3 years, there will be no way to tell what’s real and what’s […]
