The Unexamined Life is Not Worth Living
I’m sure you’ve read this quote before: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Socrates said at his trial for heresy.

A Busy Mind is not a Disorder
Let me be very clear here: I’m not a doctor. I don’t play one on TV. I don’t hand out medical advice. I just find myself thinking about the world around me and I can’t help “thinking outloud” on the web. I’ve heard the term “ADHD” — Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder — but I’m not […]
