In nearly every discipline, whether scientific, industrial, educational, or philosophical, the question arises with regularity: How do we invent something new? This question seems exceptionally pressing now that AI has entered the conversation. Of course, many seem to think such questions demand complex answers, theories, models, or technological breakthroughs. I disagree. I would argue that […]
A Contrastive Inquiry into Hypertrophy and the Biological Trade-Offs of Resistance Training Why are so many elderly individuals advised to stop resistance training, despite decades of being told it’s essential for healthy aging? How is it that an activity widely promoted as protective against frailty, osteoporosis, and metabolic decline is so often deemed too risky […]
Recently, I saw a meme on LinkedIn that had a picture of two sets of footprints. One set was clearly larger, and the other clearly smaller, intended to represent a father and his son. The caption read, “Be careful where you walk,” to which the child replied, “You be careful—I walk in your footsteps.” Sounds […]
When someone insists, “There’s no way the government could keep something like that a secret,” regardless of what “that” might be, they are making a claim that simply collapses under even the slightest scrutiny. To believe such nonsense is to ignore both distant and recent history… and logic. Government secrecy is not only a very […]
What is Phosphatidylserine? Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a phospholipid with well-documented benefits for cognitive function, memory, and overall brain health. It plays a crucial role in maintaining neuronal cell membrane integrity, facilitating neurotransmitter activity, and supporting brain plasticity. Research indicates that PS supplementation can enhance memory recall, improve attention, and slow cognitive decline, particularly in aging […]
Our best decisions are typically rooted in accurate information. However, when critical information about corruption, public health risks, or institutional failures are silenced, society is left uninformed and unprepared to address real threats. This manufactured ignorance can lead to unsafe policies, unchecked abuses of power, and the erosion of public trust in essential systems. Moreover, […]
They say that exercise is a foundational pillar of health at any stage of life, but for the elderly, it is particularly critical. Regular physical activity maintains cardiovascular function, strengthens bones and muscles, enhances mental clarity, and supports emotional well-being. In fact, it might even extend the lifespans of older adults. More than just movement, […]
When it comes to real education, fostering critical thinking and reflective skills is paramount. While research proficiency is essential, developing critical analysis abilities requires dedicated instructional strategies. One effective approach involves structured argumentative assignments that challenge students to evaluate diverse perspectives critically. However, ideal outcomes can be hard to achieve if the student is left […]
This article may end up a little “preachy,” but I feel compelled (or provoked) to speak up. A recent Gallup survey I read seemingly demonstrated a critical trend in U.S. political and ideological dynamics: the deep polarization between the major parties. While much attention focuses on the ideological divide between Democrats and Republicans, the data […]
Dietary supplements sometimes get dismissed as ineffective or “worthless,” but this blanket skepticism overlooks extremely important evidence and context. While it’s true that some supplements are overhyped or misused, it is also true that many supplements have proven to have significant benefits in the right circumstances. In either clinical practice or public health, supplements ranging […]
