[February 17, 2026] I asked Grok 4.0 what were the advantages of Artificial Intelligence. What you read below is AI generated. We should not, in any way, be surprised at what we might gain with AI.

[February 13, 2026] We should not be surprised by what happens in a Baltimore school. The education system has been in free fall for decades.

[February 11, 2026] In one of my earliest articles on this website, I wrote that leaders must have unequivocal clarity in communication.

[February 2, 2026] In the late 1970s, during the disco dance craze, my girlfriend asked me to take dance classes so I could dance with her. I was terrible at first.

[January 31, 2026] Science is changing the way we view our most ancient ancestors, the Neanderthals. In a video by Highly Compelling, he refers to this as the Neanderthal Problem That Scientists Don’t Want to Discuss. The “problem” is that our understanding of human development is wrong.

[January 29, 2026] Every person has something to offer. It doesn’t matter whether you are young or old, smart or ignorant, good-looking or ugly, big or small; each of us has something worthwhile to give to our families, communities, or our nation.
