Jones’s mistake is one she shares with much of the contemporary Democratic Party. She writes extensively about the need for more government funding to solve every problem imaginable, while disdaining religion and family—the very things that sustain working Americans. A dismissive quip about a family member “colonized” by Fox News epitomizes the... See more
Zoning Out - First Things
My biggest issue with tools like Delphi that promise to help creators scale their time infinitely is that most people aren’t lacking information or insight. They are lacking the peer support, accountability, and belief capital needed to put the knowledge into action.
