The Importance of Values

I have no idea whether this is old or new clip of Shapiro, and personally, I'm of opinion Ben has his share of hits and misses. However, that said, I'm sharing this clip of his in hope that few more young people would come across it. Here is why:

The best advice about the marriage I was given very young by my father. He said to me: "Being 'in-love' is temporary. That feeling of 'having butterflies' or being 'crazy-about-someone' passes, and then, what really matters is whether you respect the person you are with. And if you do, the respect grows into more permanent affection, and few decades in, it is a good kind of addiction - you do not know how to live without this person."

Going back to Ben's clip, it is very, very hard to achieve that level of respect and affection with someone who does not share - at least - the most important of your values. Not impossible, but remarkably hard. Especially, when children arrive. How can you teach children right from wrong, if you do not agree what is...

Climate change 101

I know I haven't been around lately...work...life...However, the 12-years-old clip popped into my feed and I wanted to share it. The reason? This clip provides the great basic understanding into what are the issues with so-called "evidence" related to anthropogenic (human-induced) climate change and the lack of logic when it comes to the interpretation of such evidence. The sad reality is that even after 12 years from this clip, we are still forced to endure nonsensical conclusions that hurricanes hitting Florida are caused by big bad climate change.

A Non-existent Crisis

The mainstream media is doubling down on the alarmism, and it is not hard to guess why. However, to be fair, consider my little observation an educated guess, an opinion, rather than the fact. Time will show whether I am right.

(1) 'Climate change affects everyone': Europe battles wildfires in intense heat by Reuters (https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/spain-portugal-battle-wildfires-heatwaves-scorch-southern-europe-2022-07-17/)

If you spent time in Southern Europe, Mediterranean, during summer season - July and August in particular - you probably know that heat-induced wildfires are nothing new. In fact, they are quite common and remarkably devastating for the affected communities, and I have witnessed several in person. Most of the time, the wildfires occur due to heat igniting grasses, especially in the areas where there are broken glass or broken bottles. The glass serves as an amplifier for the sun rays, especially, in the vicinity of dry grasses, or even dry pine needles, and as ...

Great interview. Highly recommended.
