The End Of Individualism And The Disappearance Of The Family
Given the fact that the second assault on Individualism is underway, I wanted to raise people’s awareness to two “fronts” being planned now. The first is a subtle undermining of organized religion (the Regressive Movement has discovered the catalytic relationship between the Judeo-Christian Ethic and the emergence of the Individual). The second is the attempt […]
A Historical Perspective On Covid-19: Did We Learn Anything From Our Hysterical And Dysfunctional Response?
There are three lessons that stand out for me: 1.) The most serious delusion human beings have, is their certainty that they are in control of the world. 2.) The solution to a problem, without exception, creates the next problem. 3.) If you don’t take care of yourself, you have no chance of taking care […]
The Politics Of Loss: The Damage Done By Undealt With Grief
These are puzzling, irrational, and dangerous times. It is impossible to explain why our president continues to make decisions that harm people and put our country at risk of armed conflict. I do not believe that lack of intelligence, old age, or senility is the cause of our culture’s dysfunction. I do believe that Joe […]
The Art Of Complaining: The Key To Avoiding Burnout
Truly connecting with people, both professionally and personally, has been dealt a severe blow, by the mess our culture has become. The political polarization, the economic meltdown and the disappearance of any predictability and security, has created a persistent malaise, akin to having a low level chronic illness that never quite clears up and never […]
There Is No Way To Bribe Yourself Out Of Incompetence: All It Does Is Create Greedier Extortionists
The last three years have been so replete with examples of incompetence, on the part of business and political leadership, that its challenging to highlight the most egregious examples. Here are the three that have done the most damage to our culture: 1. The burning, looting, and personal violence visited on sections of many cities, […]
Evil Re-Visited: How We Guarantee Mass Murders
Every time there’s a horrific mass murder, I end up having the same debates over what would “solve” this awful problem – “It’s a mental health issue” – “Lousy parenting produces killers” – “Our permissive culture rewards violence” – “Our media glorifies anonymous and impersonal brutality.” My response is that all of these play a […]
The Zombies Are Back: The Resurrection Of Diversity, Inclusion, And Equity
When I wrote my initial article about BLM, in June of 2020, when I called them the “Scam of the Century,” I assumed that they would take their extortion money and find a suitable swamp to retreat to. But, lo and behold, their back – pushing their three-pronged slogan, to cover their nihilistic intentions. So I thought […]
Drowning In The Seas Of ADD’s
Never have I seen so many apparent adults having so little ability to pursue a thought, without getting distracted. Congress and The White House need to establish, as soon as possible, a Department of Special Education for elected and appointed politicos. What do you think? ~ Morrie Check out my services at https://www.morrieshechtman.com Get a copy […]
The Right and the Left: Identical Dysfunctional Twins
The extreme right and the extreme left are very much alike – both feel abandoned, and are looking to get their needs met. Unfortunately, both are so angry and frightened that they’re relying on hostility and scapegoating to get their message across. But instead of communicating, they’re polarizing, and pushing away anyone that can genuinely help. […]
6 Rules For A Rock-Solid Life
1.) Every Situation You Find Yourself In, You Are Partially Responsible For: Nothing will change until you take ownership of your part — that someone, somewhere has a greater opportunity than you. You can either feel resentful, or competitive. It’s your choice. 2.) There Are No Make-Ups In Life: Once you get screwed, you can’t […]
