There is a story – the truth of which is questionable – about Schrödinger. It claims that his doctoral dissertation was so advanced and revolutionary that none of the evaluation committee could understand it. So, they asked Einstein to review it and give his opinion. He came back and said, “It’s very interesting and is…

Let’s reflect on how God is all knowing. I’ve heard some very erudite Christians quote Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, and let us reason together,” as proof of God’s has some limitation in viewing the future. They usually go on to explain His method of presenting the future to the prophets in one of two ways.…

As you look at Bambie Ray Robinson and see that she made herself into Bambie Thug a self-proclaimed queer witch you find yourself amazed that someone would willingly fall so far. Yes, this make over did allow her to be Ireland’s entry in the latest Eurovision but at what cost? I would say her soul…

There has been a series of characters in popular movies and television that can be seen as archetypes. Andrea “Andy” Sachs in the Devil Wears Prada, Susan “Rita” White in Educating Rita, and Diane Chambers in Cheers to name a few. These characters are striving to be, or even claiming to be, intellectuals. And in…

In a previous post I talked about some movies that would on the surface seem truly horrible. These are movies with a hard R rating that have a lot of sex, violence, and vulgarity. However, when you consider them more objectively, they show to have some really Christian themes. Conversely there are some that appear…

It is very easy to feel pessimistic about the nature of the world, especially if you’re a Christian. We don’t need to go into the lengthy list of things such as pedophilia grooming, wokeism and all the hundreds of things point to social and civilization collapse. But now there are some things that are giving…

I was perusing YouTube when I came across John Anderson interviewing Louise Perry. For those who don’t know her, she is (along with Mary Harrington) a feminist who feels that feminism needs to rethink the sexual revolution and modern feminist views on motherhood and marriage. You can hear more from both these women on John…

To continue the thought from my last post there are a set of six Hollywood tropes that I’m quite tired of seeing. And no, they are not the usual complaints seen so much on YouTube and in other blogs. I think just about everyone has heard the complaints of Mary Sues and the breaking of…

I was watching a television show where some teenage daughters were telling their mother about a romcom where the leading man was a widower father. The mother’s reply was, “of course he is, Hollywood hates mothers.” I thought about that for a minute and then realized she got it all wrong. Hollywood doesn’t hate mothers;…

I just recently reread Huckleberry Finn for a book club and it made me wonder. Why does the left hate Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn? They claim it’s due to the liberal use of the “N-word,” but they have no problem with Tarantino movies. Besides, any sensible person can tell the difference between a racist work…

As a follow-up to my previous thoughts on the Peter Principle there is one area I think I should touch. In the Air Force we often referred to there being four types of officers. Type One officers were those with a great deal of ability and a great deal of ambition. These were the ones…

The Peter Principle, for those who don’t know, is the theory postulated by Lawerance Peter that organizations will promote an employee to his (or her) level of incompetence and leave him there. The claim being that he won’t be promoted any further and the company won’t fire him. This theory is accepted as a given…
