What has happened to this great nation of ours? Sometimes, I don’t even recognize it any longer. American flags are hate speech? Debates are now fights? Education is indoctrination? We have lost our way and seem to be speeding toward something terrible. Perhaps, we are already there. In my opinion, the murder of Charlie Kirk […]
A good question about fraud came up in one of my Telegram groups: ‘Generative AI has changed fraud, so what controls actually work now?‘ I thought it might make for a good article, because it’s the right question to ask. However, the answer requires recognizing that we’re dealing with an evolved version of a persistent […]
Leadership is a discipline that demands clarity, direction, and adaptability. Time is important. Yet, many leadership approaches remain preoccupied with the past, whether through organizational history, habit, personal mistakes, or inherited dysfunction. This backward-facing posture is often reinforced by developmental models that prioritize therapeutic reflection over actionable change. I believe that approach to be highly […]
For much of modern medical history, the appendix was considered vestigial, an evolutionary leftover with no meaningful function. Surgical removal was common practice, often performed even in mild cases of inflammation. In recent years, however, accumulating evidence has challenged this perception. Research, supported by years of anecdotal experience, now suggests the appendix plays significant roles […]
The financial world you know (JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, your local credit union) has a hidden counterpart. It’s a $65 trillion network called shadow banking, larger than traditional banking and critical to the global economy. In 2008, when this system faltered, it nearly brought down everything. Most people still don’t know it exists, yet […]
For years, Wikipedia has been hailed as the digital encyclopedia of the people, a collaborative, open-source repository of knowledge built by volunteers across the globe. In theory, this democratic structure was its strength: a platform where anyone could contribute, correct, and refine the world’s understanding of nearly any topic. In practice, however, Wikipedia has become […]
Organizational culture is always under construction – or destruction. It is not a fixed monument etched in vision statements or value posters. Instead, it is a living behavioral ecosystem. This is to say that it changes, often subtly and rapidly, with every decision, every action, and every tolerated deviation. Leaders who fail to recognize this […]
This article comes at the request of several readers, because once again, we see an old and reliable treatment in the news, being ridiculed as pseudo-science or dangerous. Why? Probably so that you will fear it and turn to some newer and more costly treatment. How many times must we see this before we ignore […]
Projection is a term rooted in psychology that describes the act of attributing one’s own undesirable traits, motives, or actions to others. While it often occurs subconsciously in personal relationships, projection can also be wielded strategically, particularly in politics and propaganda, as a way to deflect attention and control narratives. When those in power use this […]
In nearly every discipline, whether scientific, industrial, educational, or philosophical, the question arises with regularity: How do we invent something new? This question seems exceptionally pressing now that AI has entered the conversation. Of course, many seem to think such questions demand complex answers, theories, models, or technological breakthroughs. I disagree. I would argue that […]
