  Alethophobia, Error, and Truth in a Cynical Age

  Sep 28, 202610 minS5

  It seems illogical, because it is, that human beings would not only come to believe truth is relative, preferential, circumstantial, but now also to not believe in truth at all. Or the next step, to dislike or fear truth, to simply reject facts, but such an idea is emerging in American and Western society. It's called alethophobia. Arriving at this point is no minor development. It's significant, for it leads to cynicism and nihilism, the hopeless idea that nothing matters, that life has no meaning and no purpose. Is it any wonder that there is a mental health crisis among young people or that suicides are on the rise? Or that drugs or other addictions are being pursued without boundaries, trying to deaden the emptiness human beings feel? Of course, there is still truth, and the Truth in Jesus Christ. There is still reconciliation and healing and hope and peace available to those who seek it.

  Dollar General, Pricing Inconsistencies, Business Ethics

  Sep 21, 202610 minS5

  Dollar General is a nationwide grocery and retail store chain operating over 21,000 stores. Take a trip and you'll see them "everywhere." So Dollar General is well-known to put it mildly. Typically, prices for many items like milk, for example, are less than other area grocery stores or gas station convenience marts, so many people pop in for a few items. I do, for there is a store about 3 miles from our house. But the issue, and recent controversy, is whether Dollar General regularly charges more for an item than what is posted on the shelf, and more than this, whether the chain is knowingly doing this. In other words, milk might say $3.19 at the shelf but the checkout register charges you $3.49. Is this simply a case of the shelf posting not catching up with the corporate computer price increase? Maybe. Or is this intentional, and in that case, is this consumer fraud? Dollar General has been charged and settled fines in several states. Business ethics demands transparency and honesty, and a capitalist system works best if these principles are being observed.

  Americans Don't Read, They View

  Sep 14, 202610 minS5

  Americans don't read like they once did and most purchased books remain unread. What Americans do is "view"--online, screen time, television. We get our information and entertainment, or as often "infotainment" via audio/visual media, not via the printed word. This matters because our minds, critical thinking capacities, and ability to learn, discern, and make decisions differ substantially between reading and a/v. And the generations read or view differently, hence the ever fragmenting way the generations understand the political culture and society in which we live. This is showing up in our ability to maintain e pluribus unum. The printed word and reading are by far the better way to go. Let's hope the younger generations rediscover this.

  Reforming the Immigration System

  Sep 7, 202610 minS5

  Immigration remains a political hot button. Congress needs to act, but political winds seem to prevent it from doing so. Meanwhile, America remains at risk to individuals coming to America who do not share American values and do not want to assimilate or pursue the American Dream. Rather, they want to tear down American civilization. It's time for reform.

  Flock Cameras in a Surveillance Society

  Aug 31, 202610 minS5

  Flock cameras are less than ten years old but they seem to have taken the country by storm. Governments buy them, place them on poles, then AI runs identifies cars, license plates, and apparently more. A lot of data. Questions for the public: is this another invasion of privacy? What if this data gets in the wrong hands? What about incidents already reported in which police have misused the tech to stalk their exes or others? The company, Flock Safety, offers pithy responses refuting all this. But the public isn't buying it. This is a harbinger of more to come--how much privacy are Americans willing to trade for a sense of security and safety?
