I used to be impressed with people when they claimed to be particularly intelligent. Now I know that if someone is intelligent, they are unlikely to say so. The most intelligent people I’ve ever met are most likely to downplay it. There is a psychological phenomenon that in general, the…Continue Reading

I haven’t been updating the blog much for one simple reason: I am revamping my whole writing process. It’s very difficult to keep producing content at the same time as relearning how to do so. I used to just sit down and write whatever came to mind. This led to…Continue Reading

It has taken me many years to have hope for the future. I am finally in a place where I can look ahead, and plan for things like retirement and savings. I hope to grow old with my partner, Ryann. We do not know what the future holds. We only…Continue Reading

It’s been nearly a month since I’ve posted anything here, and I want to write something today because I am bursting with excitement. In less than three hours, I’ll be attending a concert. It will take place online, on a site called Moment House. It’s a way to participate in…Continue Reading

I spent two hours today reviewing what I’d recorded of the things I did this year. Between Patreon, the blog, and paintings, I produced over 70 pieces. This astounds me because I was incredibly busy outside of my creative work. I’ve been trying all day to figure out how to…Continue Reading

I entered adulthood wholly uneducated and unprepared for life. I was homeschooled until I was 19. When I tried attending a local university while living with my parents, I had no time to study. I also had no respect for academia. In my mind, my own ignorant Christian beliefs were…Continue Reading

After Facebook went down last week, I’ve been exchanging numbers with a lot of you, and I’ve been amazed at how many of you are still reading this blog. I feel that I have a lot to explain. Like I said in my last post, a lot of these things…Continue Reading

  • Leave a Comment on Heartlessness and Hate, Part 2

In Christian homeschool speech and debate, we were told that we were learning logic and critical thinking. What we learned was a kind of feigned intellectualism, one that behaves under the pretense that the most reasonable reaction to anything is no reaction at all. Almost without fail, the winning competitors…Continue Reading

Many people have asked me about speech and debate and whether it helped me with my communication and critical thinking skills. Now that a decade has passed, I can say with certainty that it did not. Years of frustration with speech and debate eventually led to some relative competitive success,…Continue Reading
