America Rules The World

America is at the centre (not center) of the world. That’s what Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Sopranos, Dexter, Rick and Morty, The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, South Park, Orange is the New Black, The Big Bang Theory, Friends, How I Met Your Mother, The Good Place, Community, Jane […]

Could Artificial Intelligence Be Our Saving Grace?

Movie Review: Circle

No opening credits, just a camera pan of a bunch of people standing in a circle, on separate red pods. Some of them disappear suddenly by falling off or stepping off. Worse than Game of Thrones; a character I liked died within minutes. What a movie. (Spoilers ahead.) Circle of […]

A Culture of Self-Deprecation

Ask a pretty woman if she’s attractive and she’ll instantly say she isn’t. Or, she’ll downplay it, or say you’re prettier than her. No one likes a show-off, but a simple acknowledgement of one’s looks, talents, and intelligence is not a bad thing. Self-deprecation is not always the way. The […]
