Science

ScienceScience or Pseudoscience, what's the difference and why does it matter?  Well as I write this a big famous airplane company is having problems with their planes and there are questions about ignoring safety during manufacture.  I want to fly in a plane made by people who use science to build a plane that will takeoff fly and land safely and comfortably.

Wikipedia says, "Science is a rigorous, systematic endeavor that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the world."

An unbiased honest scientist could have inspected or looked at the planes in question and made predictions about how they would fly or don't.  They have tests for the doors or whatever other part is the problem, and had those tests been done they would have hopefully raised concerns and fixed the issue before flight.

So science is a method.  We observe something in... (5 videos)

Get More Love Affection and Sex With Peaceful Communication – NVC

How we ask or don't ask for what we need can make all the difference, there's that saying we get more bees with honey than vinegar.  Even more effective than being sweet is being vulnerable, letting people see our struggle, pain, and suffering invites a natural empathetic response (this works with mature people, in the video I talk about a way to deal with immature or triggered reactions).

In this video I talk about the when, what, where, and how of communicating in a way that gets more of our needs met:

Foil Reviews – AFS, F-One, Code, Armstrong, F4, Naish, and Slingshot

Foil ReviewsAll the things I like about foils I have ride tested and reviewed:  AFS, F-One, Code, Armstrong, F4, Naish, and Slingshot. For even more detail and depth or what I didn’t like including Achilles heels and deal breakers go to the Foil Reviews – Honest Feedback on Hydrofoils from Popular Brands page (also available a la carte).

Foiling is one of favorite happy places, even better when I have the right tool for the job.  I am a better human and closest to the best version of myself when I feed my passions and get stoked.  I want this for you as well, more stoked people in their happy place sounds like a better world to me.  Matching good people with the best gear for their ability makes a huge difference.  In my reviews my intention is to get to the truth, how do these foils ride?  Is the slick marketing video hype or hyperbole?  Let’s find out together.  I have dedicated many years to riding every foil I can in every condition mother nature can provide.

Wake Up – A Better Life is Waiting

Wake UpI need your help, or you need mine.  A win win win is waiting for us.

An unbelievably better life awaits all of us.  Here is a simple proof, in 1900 many of the problems we face today didn't exist.  Often people respond to this claim with logical fallacies or parroting something they were told that has no evidence.  This is why I created the Tools Course and offer in person lessons, we have to go through one by one examining the claims and unlearn each falsehood.

What's keeping you from saying yes?

I have yet to receive an answer to that question.  How is it such a simple question goes unanswered for so long?

Let's assume I am crazy, wrong, a liar, spreading dangerous misinformation, or worse.  Wouldn't it be in your best interest to know why I am wrong, or how to prove I am wrong?  To be able to point to some evidence and say see!  Here is the proof.  So why doesn't anyone do that?  I have been asking for years and no one can provide any evidence that what I am saying is wrong.  If I am nuts it should be easy to debunk me.  So why haven't you?

I know the short term answer - the questioner is believed to be incorrect and that it's a waste of time trying to answer or correct them.  Or the topic hits a nerve, as an example I didn't want to talk about divorce when I was engaged I was afraid I would jinx myself, so out of sight out of mind.  Long term I want to know or at the very least be reassured the crazy person is incorrect.  Maybe I'm just built differently, even so in healthy cultures the community listens to the questioner or the messenger because they have information that can help or even save the lives of everyone.  So why believe far away strangers instead of your neighbor?  I am right here, if some famous big shot is wrong what recourse do you have?

Here is my video titled: Wake Up - A Better Life is Waiting:
