Wisdom Wednesday – Dilbert As A Management Role Model? (With Bonus Donald Trump Reference in 2006?!?)

In “honour” of the death of Scott Adams, I present one of the papers I wrote in library school. This was my Management class and, you won’t be shocked to hear that I had a lot of skepticism about what we were being taught (you’ll be more shocked to learn that management was my highest […]

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

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 […]
