The Rational Ram

There was a time when making people think made for good television and theater, but that isn’t as mainstream as it once was. All of the things media sells us are designed for one purpose… […]

First post in a while… Sometimes life gets in the way of posting for various reasons, but the reasons in this case are very good reasons (I’m on a much needed vacation), but I’m glad I’m able to make time to make a post. Today’s post is a bit of a thought piece (you know, […]

Source of photo: ESPN.com I’m a sports fan. I used to be a sports fanatic. Of course, “fan” is short for fanatic, but there is a difference between being a fan of a team, player, or sport and being fanatical about the same. I’m a lifelong fan of the Dallas Cowboys (I’m a native of […]

Keeping this post pithy today… I think the opening quote from the Dalai Lama is powerful and poignant enough and it would be madness to disagree with the wisdom conveyed by it. However, I am fairly certain that when most people are given the advice to “be better”, this quote does not come to mind. […]

I thought I’d follow up my previous post on the “Red Pill/Blue Pill” philosophy being propagated on the internet in the so-called Manosphere. I won’t completely recapitulate what Red Pill/Blue Pill philosophy and the Manosphere are in this post, but feel free to read what I had to say in describing what they are here: […]

(From the movie The Matrix, 1999) The not-so-obvious reason for my post today is to set the record straight about my stance on the subject of interpersonal relationships that may easily be misconstrued with the ideology I’m about to explain to my readers and then subsequently criticize this ideology for the idiocy it represents. “Red […]

It would not be fair to my lady readers if I failed to share some philosophical advice on interpersonal relationships with women in the same way I shared advice with my gentlemen readers. My “advice” is not a panacea for anything and I’m certainly not a relationship expert, nor am I holding myself out as […]

(Source of photo: https://getmoviestvonlinefree47home.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/dave-chappelle-sticks-stones-2.jpg?w=640) After watching the Dave Chappelle stand-up comedy special on Netflix, I get the hubbub about it, but then I don’t get it. Anyone who watched the routine and came away anything but entertained really needs to re-examine how they view life. Chappelle is easily one of the most brilliant comedians in […]
