Engaging Life with Courage and Intelligence
This video discusses the downward spiral of people who suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect. They tend to avoid researching and thinking about issues. Instead, they latch on to simplistic and often wrongheaded explanations and solutions. Moreover, they usually find others who have followed the same path and trust questionable authorities over mainstream authorities. In the…
We have misinformation and disinformation; the difference is that the first is simply an innocent mistake, while the second is a deliberate act to deceive, manipulate, or harm. Although not widely used, we also have mismanagement and dismanagement. We’ve all worked in organizations mismanaged by unprepared or lazy managers—dismanagement parallels disinformation. Dismanagement is the deliberate…
By popular demand, this video has been made public. There are over a dozen videos planned to focus on the 2026 elections. The primary focus will be the whys and hows of voting decision-making, not on parties or candidates. While parties and candidates will be mentioned, the intent is not to be mindlessly partisan but to put American…
Disinformation engineers and their wealthy overlords target “easy” voters in the arena we now call democracy. After democracy is supplanted by authoritarian control, their need to persuade and convince will be unnecessary. They will be like the throwaway politicians from Trump’s first term (e.g., Jeff Sessions and Michael Pence). How do these victims not see…
” Seven” does not refer to Trump’s seventh wife; he has had only three. The number seven refers to bankruptcies. As far as we know, he has experienced SIX, mostly at casinos. So, the man who rules the penny-conscious Republican Party is quietly creating his SEVENTH bankruptcy; this will be his crowning achievement! It should…
We live in troubled times. Therefore, we should pray with Billy Graham’s son on television every morning and believe everything the White House press office says. Life is so much simpler and uncomplicated if we follow and believe what these people say. The following is the perfect explanation of one of the recent murders in…
With the twin themes of history and truth matters, this video explores the coming crisis posed by the impact of artificial intelligence and robotics on American society. However, America has a strong tradition of resistance to collective action, which often leads to dysfunction and chaos. Paraphrasing Winston Churchill, America tries everything else before doing the…
There is an interesting correlation between the familial roots of U.S. Presidents and their behavior as presidents. Even in the beginning, the families of the first six presidents had been in colonial America for several generations. It is probably no coincidence that the rule is that American presidents have to be natural-born citizens. Of course,…
The flip-flopping TACO President is back in force. The TACO bell has rung. He will impose 1500% tariffs on countries he doesn’t like. Then, a few days later, we discovered he actually imposed 1.5% tariffs. Didn’t this man take basic arithmetic in school? The next day, he raised the tariffs to 15%. The following week,…
In the tradition of truth and history, this video examines the psychological connection between a boy with an out-of-control ego and his impact on the course of history. Abe Lincoln and Mark Twain introduce the video by asking why America suddenly wants to take over the peaceful and cooperative land of Greenland. Direct web address…
