Trolling Trolls
A lot of people believe that we just have to be our authentic selves and the world will be a better place. I disagree because a lot of people are gross. I am the pot calling the kettle black. The proper response to trolls on the internet is not to troll them back. But I…

Sleeping Sounds Good
I need to take my pills and wait half an hour to eat but I don’t think I’m going to be able to stay awake until my usual bedtime. It’s been a hell of a week.

The Bible is Sometimes Wrong
I reject infallibility and inerrancy. I reject it for the Bible and I reject it for the Quran. The Book of Mormon acknowledges the faults of men in it. That is how I can hold all three books in my head at one time. There is only one good, one pure, and one perfect and…

Good and Well

The Tribe of Mark
I had a conversation with an old friend where she tried to convince me that the only thing that makes the world work is love and that my admissions of selfness would leave me fruitless. I disagree fundamentally that humans are naturally loving and good. I think that selfishness is our defining feature. Yes humans…

Judging People
Are you a good judge of character? I feel like I’m a good judge of character but I tend to keep it to myself. I know some truly exceptional people, and a lot of mediocre people. In the first case I will tell them so that they know. No one wants to hear that they…
