Psychological reasons
In this blog I will try to explain the psychological factors that may be preventing people with extreme views (example Islamists and Maoists) to understand any point of view other than their own. Specifically I would like the extremists to understand the points I made in my blog below: I will start by stating the […]
How to prevent a Nuclear Holocaust
Now you might think that I am off my rocker. Here I am with no experience in government, politics or managing people and I am saying I can help avoid a nuclear conflict. But if there is even one chance in a million that I have something worthwhile to say it makes sense to read […]
Do we deserve our Freedom
