Pathology on Display
Watching Donald Trump insist that, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, he is “100% right” about Muslim citizens in New Jersey celebrating the annihilation of the World Trade Center on 9/11, is a revealing look at the mind of a narcissist. I didn’t know the exact pathology this attribute fit into; this […]
Stick to the Faith
The Faithful do themselves a disservice whenever they try to logically and rationally support their beliefs. Even though they’ve had thousands of years to find evidence to support their extraordinary claims, they’ve failed, so instead they develop premises, arguments and even wagers to hang on to their beliefs, and more importantly, to hang on to […]
The Week in Review

In that respect, I actually […]
