Secular Sunday – Who Exactly Is Teaching Kids About “Socialism”?

A bit of a different take on secularism. But since it’s usually heavily religious conservative people yelling “Socialism!” at anything they don’t like, I’ll allow it…

Secular Sunday – “You Die At The End of This…[Don’t Take] It Seriously Like There Is Any Way To Win In All This”

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 […]
