the ArmChair Thoughts

One might be forced to argue that there is a direct relationship between religiosity and ignorance. Before the angry eyebrows are raised, let’s consider this research together of religious v. non-religious countries (Gallup Poll):

Religion was not the only thing that was on my mind as I was growing up trying to understand the ‘right’ path to steer my life, lately, the other part of what I’ve been thinking about came back to me and this time, clearer–acquiring knowledge. Genius(n): an exceptional natural capacity of intellect, especially as shown in creative and original [...]

Theses days I watch with curiosity our kids are forced into early adulthood. I think I understated; some kids don’t even know there exists such a thing as childhood: those days when stupidity was the order of the day and everyone roamed so freely, learning as freely, even those times when we’d be too free [...]

The last post I exposed on the illusion of ‘getting an education’, the western education that is. I expressed some disgust and let’s say ironically, it all comes down to living by the rules to survive. As much as I might think that there are better alternatives to learning than attending college(s) and piling degree [...]

“Green” is now the buzzword and of course, if you live in America, you can’t help but notice how environmental consciousness is being jammed up everyone’s throat. I’ve written in the past about the hypocrisy of us wanting to save the planet [earth]. My argument has always been: we all came from the earth–all the [...]

I think I’m being judgmental…wait, I doubt if anyone judges more than religion folks. This is an excerpt from one [...]

Perhaps one day I will become what I told my friend I see myself becoming: A Writer and Consultant. Many years ago I was dreaming of becoming an Airline Pilot because it looked cool, not anymore. I’m grown now, more educated, clearer vision, I see myself writing books and giving talks [motivational? young adults?]. Unfortunately, [...]

It’s funny when I think of the song “Papa was a rolling stoneWhere ever he lay his head was his home..”And in constrast, the many sweet songs about mama, and the many beautiful things always been said about mothers and fathers, rolling stones.As much as we might decide to adore our mother, I’m quitely coming [...]

My friend recently wondered why I would think it’s impossible to [truly] like someone on first encounter. She explained to me that sometimes you’d see that guy and be like, “wow, he’s cute, I like him”. Or, for the guy, he sees that girl and likes her. I understood her point(s) and as I mentioned [...]
