WHAT YOU'LL FIND ON THIS SITE
DAILY COMMENTARY
The main section of the site is the Daily Commentary section.
I review news articles on a daily basis, select at least one piece of news, then write interesting commentary and insight about that piece.
Usually my articles involve "a-ha!" moments, something interesting that most people wouldn't have noticed!
It could be that I find flaws in the logic used by a well known personality, government figure or expert.
It could be that I use the person's words against them, demonstrating how their claim actually undermines their own argument!
It could be that I make an interesting observation linking current news to older news.
It could be that I make a unique, unnoticed finding after reading between the lines.
It could be that I personally challenge a well-known figure!
All of the above examples currently appear in the Daily Commentary section!
TOPICAL ARTICLES
The Topical Articles section contains articles I've written about a wide range of interesting topics, topics that may or may not be appearing in the current news cycle.
Some of the topics have already been written about by many others. But you can expect some never before seen insight provided by the 74th smartest person in the world!
A sample of topics I've written about:
-Liberalism

This section adds new articles periodically.
READER REQUESTS
Some readers want to know what the 74th smartest person in the world thinks about a certain topic!
Those readers can submit their request here.
Periodically, I write an article about a reader request that I find to be particularly interesting! Those articles are found in the Reader Request section!
Examples of some requests I've written about:
-Why did the US electorate change their voting pattern so drastically between 2006 and 2010?
-What are my views on climate change?
WHO WOULD'VE THUNK IT?
The topics in the Who Would've Thunk It? section are similar to the topics in the Topical Articles section.
The difference is this: This section includes articles that expose unusually surprising insight!
Some topics I've written about:
-Wall Street geniuses flunk stats
-Obama's anti-Americanism
ABOUT ME PERSONALLY
I've been blessed with a gift: I want to make a meaningful difference somewhere in society, whether it be in business, government, the economy or elsewhere!
There is a lot of misinformation out there, much of it being purposely peddled. I'm here to expose it!
To provide some credibility about my ability, let me say this: I took a test comprising 12 sub-tests measuring many aspects of intelligence: mathematical ability, visual-spatial ability, memory and logic.
My results on the tests ranked me 74th in the world rankings of the top scores of everyone who took the test in the previous month, as published on Facebook.
Facebook has 750 million subscribers, so if only 0.1% of them took the test anytime during that 30 day period, that would mean I placed 74th out of 750,000 people! (By comparison, about 10% of my Facebook friends have ever taken the test).
This analysis of mine estimates that at least 1,250,000 people took the test.
Have you ever wondered what someone like me thinks about? My views on controversial topics? Now's your chance!
Challenge yourself. Read my articles, offer your comments. Respond to other readers' comments. Test me out. After all, does my intelligence mean that I'm always going to be right?
Here's how this site came about: I've always been a very observant and knowledgeable person. Friends used to call me Mr. Dictionary when I was a child, and more recently friends would say "He knows everything!"
My knowledge has been accumulating so quickly that I wanted an outlet for it! There are so many ideas that course through my head that I need an outlet for it. Hence, I created this site, and it's been growing quickly!
I am certainly not some high and mighty powerful person. I'm actually one of the most down to earth people you'd ever meet.
However, as I said I am looking to make a bigger difference in the world!
As you might expect an extremely intelligent person to be, I am a very opinionated person.
EXPLAINING "NO SUCH THING AS AN OPINION!"
But how can I be opinionated? After all, I claim that there is No Such Thing As An Opinion!
One of the most important things I can impart to you is this: There is NO SUCH THING AS AN OPINION!
Does that notion seem to be the opposite of being pro-free speech?
Perhaps, but let me explain. To have an opinion implies that the topic is subjective. For a topic to be subjective implies that the evidence doesn't favor one person's "opinion" over that of another person.
But the evidence almost always favors one view over another, even with subjective topics! Otherwise, the evidence would favor an exact 50/50 split, a deadlock, and that's very unlikely.
Hence, there's No Such Thing As An Opinion!
TRUTH, NOT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
LOGIC, NOT RIGID LIBERALISM OR CONSERVATISM
I am not afraid to write the truth, no matter how controversial. Since I have logic on my side, why would I ever be afraid of writing the truth? After all, I'm here to help improve society. The truth does that!
Political correctness degrades society. It's often invoked by those who avoid honest discussion because they have no answer for the issues honest discussion raises!
I don't consider myself conservative or liberal, I consider myself logical. I support a position if it's supported by evidence and/or logic, regardless of whether that view is typically conservative or liberal! However, most people who know my views would categorize me as a conservative. That's because the bulk of the existing evidence and logic clearly supports conservatism over liberalism!
With that in mind, read my articles and comment!
All views are welcome. I like passion! I am always open to having my mind changed-you just have to provide me with enough reason to do so :)
