The Wolf and Bull

Humanity tends to forecast what the future will be, sometimes, with striking accuracy. Pop culture predictions from the Simpsons and Back To The Future have eerily striking accuracy. On the contrary, the speculative, and mostly hyperbolic, Nostradamus-like predictions are a dime a dozen, popularized for the sake of your dollar or voting preference.  What if some of the predictions of the futu...

" If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. " - George Orwell America has been through some tumultuous years, and it seems as if there may be a "bumpy" road ahead. Elected or soon to elected officials, law enforcement officers, and those that give their valuable time and effort to the cause of protecting their communities have been doing the...

*Listener discretion advised: Passionate and frustrated Wolf rears his head in this episode.* For the better half of almost 200 hundred years, overpopulation and the risks associated have been wedged into the psyche of modern society. From the time that we were children, the alarm bells over "too many people, not enough [insert noun here]" has echoed chillingly. In pop culture, movies like Soylent...

"Neutrality is a negative word. It does not express what America ought to feel. We are not trying to keep out of trouble; we are trying to preserve the foundations on which peace may be rebuilt." - Woodrow Wilson.  The "state of being neutral or of being unengaged in a dispute or contest between others" may truly be an impossibility. Whether that's the case or not, does it mean that there sho...

"Time is the longest distance between two places." - Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie Time is a silly little marvelous thing that we as humans spend more time considering as we age, or so we should. Time, if condensed down to singular moments, can accurately add up to the exact amount of moments you have left to spend with loved ones, near or far. Time is one of existence's constants, a loo...

"One of the greatest tragedies of our time is this impression that has been created that science and religion have to be at war." - Francis Collins According to some, neutrality is a myth; either you're for the "team" or you're against it. Polarization has become increasingly prevalent, and it could be logical to infer that almost anything can, and will, at some point, become polarized. Polarizati...

"Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning." - Mahatma Gandhi Sometimes the key to what we desire most lies with...

"For that which is common to the greatest number has the least care bestowed upon it. Everyone thinks chiefly of his own, hardly at all the common interest; and only when he is himself concerned as an individual. For besides other considerations, everybody is more inclined to neglect the duty which he expects another to fulfill..." - Aristotle America is changing. It always has, and it likely alwa...

William Henry Gates III is just a simple, regular, multi-billionaire-tech-giant-philanthropist-extraordinaire. He's an average guy, the Co-Founder of Microsoft, and a savvy and shrewd businessman to the impressive tune of a measly net worth of $112.4 billion. He's just like you, and the more you think that that's the case, the happier he is. Bill Gates and people like him desire power, and with po...

With the ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1791, freedom of the press would be guaranteed by the First Amendment. Originally a tool for criticism, investigation, and the spread of information to the populace, reportage became a rapidly growing medium with increasing popularity.

“When freedom does not have a purpose, when it does not wish to know anything about the rule of law engraved in the hearts of men and women, when it does not listen to the voice of conscience, it turns against humanity and society.” – Pope John Paul II The phrase "don't be evil" was used in Google's code of conduct before 2015; now their motto is "do the right thing" and now an internal chatbot te...
