Here’s what an “okay boomer” has to say to young people and it may not be what you think I’ll say

My young co-worker OD’d to his death on Friday night. Might have been an accident, but at the very least, he was self-medicating. He wasn't the greatest at the job, but he was such a sweet guy, and I wish his world had been a better one. That got me…

Replacement Theory is Real. It’s Just Not the Replacement White, Christian Extremists Complain About.

I still think it’s fair to say that most Americans don’t have the stomach to round up Jewish people like it’s 1930s Germany. However, there are a lot of white Christians that want to eliminate the Jewish people. …

My Response to an Evangelical Christian Playing the “We’re not racists” Game

A Medium writer said Evangelical Christians were only about 4% racist. Really? He demanded statistics from me. An aside: I used to be polite. My liberal friends at the Dems told me that I had to be because Evangelical Christians had deeply religious beliefs. I was skeptical at the time…

The Big Baddies of HBO are the Haves, Not the Mushrooms

My unpopular opinion on Liberal Identity Politics — Having finished Season 1 of The Gilded Age, I watched Episode 3 of The Last of Us and saw some similarities. Both shows exude liberal identity politics and ignore the problems with capitalism and wealth hoarding. Expect some spoilers for both from this point. The Gilded Age is based on…

Chatbots: Replacing the Local Lawyer or Replacing the Law?

Chatbot flunks again, but what if one day, no one cares? — Yesterday, the ChatGPT chatbot flunked title insurance underwriting and mechanics lien law in Illinois, saving the jobs of attorney title professionals in the state for now. Today, I challenged the chatbot to some fundamental Illinois probate law. Me: In Illinois, who inherits the property if a person dies unmarried with…

The Chatbot Flunks Basic Illinois Title Underwriting on a Snowy Friday

But at least it showed up — I used to be a lawyer in the Real Estate and Title Insurance industry, so I thought it might be fun to put a few real estate/title questions to the ChatGPT chatbot and see how well it did. …

No, Sally, You’re Not a Photon

Your energy doesn’t heal or manifest your desires, and you are not living in the Matrix — Yesterday, I posted an essay about the misuse of quantum physics by the self-help industry. I’m going to further explain and expand on that today. The Value of Liberal Arts Education Not everyone will be a rocket scientist or quantum physicist, but that does not mean most people can’t understand…

Quantum physics does not prove that our world is an illusion, so we probably should deal with our lives

The New Thought fans are gleeful over the latest Nobel Prize-winning experiment proving that the cosmos is not locally real. They say this proves there is no reality and everything is perception. They tell me “nothing happens, “everything is in our mind,” and “we have to get over form,” and…

Magical Thinking is Worse Than Toxic Politics

Recently, a Florida resident told me their state did better with Covid because Floridians are “over it.” Wow, and good for them. The comment prompted me to check the New York Times map of Covid statistics, expecting to see low numbers for Florida. While not the worst — Kentucky seems…

The Real Dystopia Will be Banal and Boring but No Less Painful than the Video Game or TV Series

I watched The Last of Us. The Real Joel Would Have Stayed Home and Locked the Doors — This week, I watched the first episode of the HBO game-based series The Last of Us. I’ve never played the game and don’t know what’s coming — although I can imagine — so the rest of this post will contain spoilers for only that one episode. …
