I know I’ve said so before, but when your favorite celebrity kicks the bucket, it doesn’t mean the world is ending. I get really tired of people whining and moaning that “so-and-so is dead!”
So what? Move the hell on! Continue reading It Doesn’t Matter That They’re Dead!
I just got finished having a discussion from someone who, in their own words, is “neuro-atypical”. He was complaining that it’s really hard to live in a world where he can’t do what he wants to do because he’s incapable.
I certainly can sympathize with that, there are plenty of things that I’d love to do that I can’t. Unfortunately, sometimes that’s life and you need to have realistic expectations and, sadly, this guy simply didn’t. Continue reading I Don’t Care if You’re Atypical!

I’ve been having a lot of discussions on philosophy lately and most don’t go well. There are a lot of people who seem to think that philosophy is a one-size-fits-all solution for every problem without exception and that’s just not how any of this works.
Not that most of these people care. So I wanted to talk about a recent example or two and why these people just need a lot of help. Continue reading Philosophy Isn’t Special
