One of the most important things to learn as an adult involves becoming aware of just how flawed all human beings are.. we're not characters in movies. We're not good or bad - we're both and everything inbetween. Making mistakes and truly learning to live fully in the present

Dave Smith: "You had the Occupy movement and the Tea Party movement. And then all of these huge publications, all they wanted to talk about was what divides all of them. Whites vs blacks, gays vs straights, trans vs cis."
@AndrewYang@FukuyamaFrancis Perhaps why countries like Canada and the US are becoming more authoritarian themselves.. the Dem side of things especially. Collective above the individual.. trying to control what people think and say and do.
The data on cannabis use in young people (age 12-18) leading to schizophrenia and psychosis later in life even after cessation of cannabis use, are striking, concerning & lend balance to the idea that cannabis is harmless or better b/c it is “safer than alcohol”.
#RankedChoiceVoting and #NonPartisanPrimaries don’t threaten democracy. They threaten the status quo. No wonder the partisans on both sides are against these reforms.
@UkraineLove_ @AndrewYang@Fwd_Party@BillyM2k@Oonabot None of those things will be meaningfully addressed without the reforms the fwrd party is focused on. Democratic politicians and ideologues are good at virtue signaling and fooling themselves and others though.
Jordan Peterson tells people to clean their rooms, stop blaming others for their BS, men can't be women but they can work on being better men - while being coherent, humble, & able to cry when happy OR sad. You'd have to be a fucking idiot to think he's the 'king of incels'.
Sarah Palin lost in her bid for a House seat on Wednesday. And #rankedchoicevoting was a big reason why. We should adopt the same system nationwide to dramatically improve our politics and reduce extremism.

I am not right wing or left wing. I am a human being who listens, empathizes, learns, and thinks.
People want to assign labels to each other so they can judge without trying to understanding a person.
Labels lessen our capacity for empathy and free thought.
How an NHL enforcer broke his body and turned to psychedelics to heal his brain. Over 8 years playing pro hockey, @rileycote32 suffered countless blows to the head. Now he’s preaching the power of #psilocybin to help treat effects.

Wiping out millions of dollars in student loans doesn't solve the problem. Instead, it forces millions of hardworking Americans, already struggling to afford high prices, to foot the bill for other people's degrees. And it could make inflation even worse. https://t.co/oD0d49kGZa
