This is precisely why I left academia in 1996… success in academia relies upon one’s ability to navigate the orthodoxy rather than pursuit of truth.
EVEN in the hard sciences, such as chemistry and physics.
I’m a REAL scientist. I couldn’t stomach it.
Why would I want to spend my life/career working in a field where truth was irrelevant? Sure, I could have made a lot of money doing it, but I am not a whore.

Peter Boghossian Pulled Off the Greatest Prank in Academic History
Former Portland State University professor Peter Boghossian shares the shocking but comical truth behind the ‘Grievance Studies Affair’. Alongside his colleagues James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose, Peter exposed ideological bias and poor quality control in…
“The Best Gift?”
Facebook suggested this question… I imagine many of you had the same. Lovely and appropriate that the suggestion points to me and Nellie.
Right up there with the Incarnation, Nellie is one of the most wonderful gifts in my life. She is like having a sweet, innocent daughter, just pre-bitchy-adolescent, for a lifetime.
She asks for cuddles, kisses, and tickles every day, and to go on “field trips” where we do “dance moves” in the car. We sing duets together in the car, mostly in tune… songs from Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and spiritual songs.
When I sit down, she takes my boots off and rubs my feet with lotion, then my head and back.
Jealous?
What an amazing blessing. Thank you, God, for the gift of Nellie.

America, The Yearning
Final portion of a larger piece concerning the future of America.
"Eighty Dots"
..........|..........|..........|..........|..........|..........|...:::::::|::::::::::|
The average life-expectancy in the US (from birth) for a male is 75yrs, and 80yrs for a female. But once you make it to 60yrs, the average is about 80yrs. Since I'm 63, the odds are good I'll make it to 80yrs.
Above, I've shown eighty dots, with separators between each set of ten dots. I've shown the last seventeen dots two-high, to show how many more years I'm likely to live on average.
It's interesting to view one's life in this manner. For example, the fewer the double-high dots remaining, the more precious they become. But the remaining dots are perhaps also more rewarding, because of the wisdom and infrastructure acquired and nurtured in the previous dots.
For someone who has invested well in the earlier dots--in family, relationships, and financially--it is a time for harvesting.
For someone who has not invested well in the earlier dots, it can be scary. What can someone do to redeem a life with too many wasted dots?
Death is the ultimate statistic: one-out-of-one people die. So death is a part of life, just as birth is. The fact of death reminds us that every day is precious.
When contemplating my choices in life, I like doing two thought-experiments. I call them the "Credit Card Game," and the "Death Bed Test."
In the credit card game, I imagine what I would do if I had unlimited resources: a credit card with no credit limit, and I never have to pay it back.
In the death bed test, I imagine myself on my deathbed, looking back on my life. What things did I do, or didn't do, that mattered?
Then, I like pondering all of it from an eternal perspective: what things did I do, or not, that made an eternal difference?
Then, I like to consider Jesus' words from his "Sermon on the Mount."
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
What really matters? That's what I'm going to try to emphasize.
May God bless you in the coming year. Choose wisely! Every dot is precious.
