In Quick Observations

By B

What does it mean to be "semi-fascist"? Nothing. Irrational people name call. This is how they endeavor to control others. They shame (or sycophantically praise).

What do you think the future will be like with our current paradigm in thinking? Our current paradigm is growing entitlement: socialism. Without problem-solving (i.e., no entitlement), civilization will collapse. Therefore, I say, read up on how to sustain your family as a hunter-gatherer. ...

Kathie Lee Gifford says she's "a look forward person" rather than a "look backward person." What are the pros and cons of both? You need both. Experience informs and improves habit.
