In the comments people talk about how the worst part, in the new relaxation of modesty rules, is the change in God’s unchanging and immutable Word.  How does that work?  It’s a contradiction in someone’s world view.

I am immune to “ChatGPT rotting my brain”:

I bring my thinking to ChatGPT, rather than leaving my thinking to it.

I value thinking as a craft, not a checkbox.

I interrogate my own ideas before accepting them.

I enjoy the process of discovery, not just the conclusion.

I use tools (including me) to refine thought, not to substitute it.

I rem…[Read more]

Yes, I agree with much of that assessment but its never to later to start. Banning cellphones during school hours and ongoing teacher training and development would be good too. In every country.

A.I. or Human…..take the test here.

One solution is to teach children critical thinking as a dedicated school subject, like math or history. Teach children how to question, explore ideas, and understand the history of thought. Learn to spot the differences between valid and invalid reasoning and cause vs. correlation. Understand how arguments are constructed and defended by knowing…[Read more]

The challenge facing the current American administration is not the pace of change, but its utter lack of a coherent vision for what should replace existing structures. This is not the “traditional conservatism” so often touted during GOP campaigns, where reform is pursued with caution and respect for institutional continuity. Instead, it is a rec…[Read more]

Thanks Reg 🙂

Have a great week everyone!

And docs are so overworked i think that it is understandable that they can’t always give good care.

One of my professional roles is to improve the IT systems of small medical practices. Most are owned by one MD with maybe a 2 or 3 other medical staff. They close every Wednesday afternoon. I once asked what she did for those afternoons. “About 5 o…[Read more]

Trump has a pathology. Psychopathology? Sociopathology? or a toxic blend of both? I think that’s for sure.

He’s a textbook narcissist.  His government is full of them.  Hitler was, and Putin is, the malignant, sadistic kind.  Trump has these tendencies, but his main motivation is just power and glory for himself and being Numb…[Read more]

Israel may not be satisfied with negotiating yet. I think they want a decisive end to that Iranian regime.

I can’t see any other viable option for Israel. If the Iranian regime is not ended, it will grow another ugly head and just start to refinance and restock Hamas and Hezbollah, both of whom are terrorist branches of Iran.

“What is it like to be a pistachio tree on the outskirts of Tehran?”

Nervous, they don’t like being shelled.

Yes, noticeable by its absence but I decided not to mention anything about the nation whose supreme leader of the religion of peace said, “We will support and assist any nation or any group anywhere who opposes and fights the Zionist regime, and we do not hesitate to say this,” (Khamenei’s official English-language Twitter account).
