Things you may not have known, things you may not have thought about or simply things or perspectives to consider.
Stolen valor is usually understood as someone pretending to be a soldier, exaggerating their service, or wearing medals they never earned. There is a law intended to punish those who do. The offense is clear and understandable. It is the theft of honor through lies. Yet, when we focus on the word ‘honor‘ and truly […]
George Orwell understood how authoritarian systems exploit zeal, and his insights remain relevant to modern movements such as feminism, especially in their Marxist and socialist forms.
What comes to mind when you hear the word Federalism? For most Americans, politics is framed as a clash of opposites: red versus blue, Republican versus Democrat, conservative versus progressive. That story is easy to sell, but is it actually true? Have you considered that this might be less a genuine divide and more a […]
Public perceptions of conservatism are often shaped more by media caricatures and partisan echo chambers than by genuine understanding of the subject. In an age of soundbites and viral outrage, stereotypes take root easily. For many liberals, “conservative” has become a label loaded with assumptions about religion, education, wealth, or prejudice. Yet when we look […]
Do you ever get the feeling that civilizations do not rise and fall randomly? You might be right. History demonstrates that dominant powers endure for roughly two and a half centuries before their primacy fades. What if America’s terminal cycle is real? What if it is already here?

In theory, this democratic structure was its strength: a platform where anyone could contribute, correct, and refine the world’s understanding of nearly any topic. In practice, however, Wikipedia has become […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
