A recent conversation with a friend compelled me to write this article. I want to share with you what I told him about corruption and oversight. Look, the “machine” wants you to believe that the real issue with recent government audits and investigations isn’t about corruption or incompetence—it’s procedural overreach. The argument goes like this: […]
I received a great email from a reader who asked a series of rather profound questions. I thought it might make a great article. The email read, “Dr. Dave! I read your article on the collusion of power. Great article! But I’ve done some research on the matter, and unfortunately, I continually find conflicting information. […]
Charles Darwin once said, “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.” In other words, people who know little often appear more confident than those who are more informed. This observation connects with two important psychological phenomena: the Dunning-Kruger Effect and impostor syndrome. I find this particularly interesting because most would likely suggest that both […]
Physical inactivity has emerged as one of the most significant threats to public health in the modern era.

However, we live in a society that seems to be carefully designed to keep us compliant, distracted, and stagnant. Whether by design or by accident, that’s a problem because true progress begins with knowledge, critical thought, and action. […]
If you had to choose one, which would you rather be: Empowered or Safe? In recent years, the call for “safe spaces” has grown louder in workplaces, schools, and social environments alike. Sure, on the surface, a safe space sounds nice—a place where individuals can feel shielded from harm or distress, both physical and emotional. […]
Every once in a while, I like to share recipes with my readers. Today, I have a pretty good for you. When it comes to health food, few dishes match the comforting and nutritionally rich experience of a meticulously crafted beef soup. Today, I am excited to unveil my “Restorative Beef Medley” creation, designed specifically […]
If you want to find purpose and direction in life, it’s crucial to start with a deep understanding of yourself. This is a big part of ‘personal leadership.’ I liken this process to assembling a puzzle, where each piece represents a part of who you are and what you aim to achieve. Finding your purpose […]
‘Paradoxical Behaviors and Uninformed Advocacy‘ seems like a weird title, but the truth is that human behavior is often contradictory. We find ourselves endorsing causes, policies, or actions that, upon closer inspection, don’t align with our true beliefs or best interests.
