A trending idea that’s caught my attention
Equality or Liberty?
There comes a time every country, society and individual had to choose between Liberty and Equality; for the two are mutually exclusive. You cannot achieve equality without violating the liberty of others. Likewise the definition of liberty forces one to accept inequality. As for me, I choose freedom over fairness.

Why do we strive for equality? We say we want smaller wage gaps, equal pay, equal rights, equal privilege, equal opportunities. But do you really want to be equal with everyone else?

No one benefits** from more words being written; from more content clutter on the "inter webs". Not … Continue reading On the cult of content
Who is your master?
If you work for a salary or even own a business that requires you to work a defined number of hours in a defined place every week, you are a slave. A slave is a dependant on a master. A slave is tied to a physical location - a time and place, not of his … Continue reading Who is your master?
Is this really the best we can do?
Do you ever look at our world leaders and think, "Is this really the best we can do? Are they really the very best examples of humanity we could find out of all seven billion of us on planet Earth?" We should be ashamed of ourselves, humans.
