A good summary of the trans medicalization phenomenon

The New Neo Posted on July 4, 2023 by neoJuly 4, 2023

The whole discussion on this video was of interest to me because it’s about how “affirmation therapy” is not actual therapy, and how therapists have been pressured into not offering real therapy for people identifying as trans or presenting with … Continue reading →

Colleges, affirmative action, and the quest for cosmic justice

The New Neo Posted on June 30, 2023 by neoJune 30, 2023

Affirmative action is a subset of what the brilliant Thomas Sowell called The Quest For Cosmic Justice (and if you’ve never read that book I highly recommend doing so). Here’s Sowell: Cosmic justice is not about the rules of the … Continue reading →

Was life better in the 70s?

The New Neo Posted on June 29, 2023 by neoJune 29, 2023

Waivers and risk: the Titan submersible

The New Neo Posted on June 23, 2023 by neoJune 23, 2023

Commenter “sailorcurt” makes a interesting point concerning the Titan submersible when he writes: Freedom also comes with the responsibility to accept the consequences for those choices and actions. “Did the waiver that had to be signed by the clients/tourists actually … Continue reading →

On the Titanic submersible rescue operation and extreme adventure excursions

The New Neo Posted on June 22, 2023 by neoJune 22, 2023

I’ll start out by saying that I think the five people in the submersible are dead, and that even days ago I thought they probably had been dead from the moment the vehicle stopped communicating with the mother ship about … Continue reading →

The Webb telescope and habitable planets

The New Neo Posted on June 21, 2023 by neoJune 21, 2023

For tomorrow: Happy Father’s Day!

The New Neo Posted on June 17, 2023 by neoJune 17, 2023

[NOTE: This a slightly edited version of a previous post of mine.] Father’s Day. A sort of poor stepchild to Mother’s Day, although fathers themselves are hardly that. They are central to a family. Just ask the people who never … Continue reading →

Is religion necessary for morality?

The New Neo Posted on June 17, 2023 by neoJune 17, 2023

Can AI be taught morality?

The New Neo Posted on June 2, 2023 by neoJune 2, 2023

For Memorial Day: on nationalism and patriotism

The New Neo Posted on May 29, 2023 by neoMay 29, 2023
