That didn’t slow down Hitler. He was convinced all the way through and highly productive along the way. His in-box was empty at the end of every day. Wait, is that a good thing? Nagging doubt is a gift. If you have a feeling something just ain’t right, you tend to pause. When you do,…

Here’s a metaphysical speculation – you be the judge. Ever wonder whether folks are behaving in-character or reacting under some form of irresistible pressure? Famous artists enrich our lives and yet may have committed egregious crimes in their personal lives, in secret. Notorious leaders throughout history have perpetrated genocide but were nice to animals and…

If there is no keeper of the chronicles no one can remember anything. If a tree falls in the forest, there might be a squirrel under there. The best qualified scribe is your opponent.
