My mission in life has become much clearer over the past few months. At first, I thought my mission was to be a writer. Now? I see my writing as a needed part of the cultural conversation. Mainly, an antidote to outrage.

In this outraged society we’re living in, somehow the world is simultaneously prosperous and abundant while lacking in self-esteem and confidence. The psyche of the nation and the world is hurting.

How do we fix it? How can I fix it? On the whole, I can’t, but I can try to change the perception of one person at a time. If they can do it for others, and then those others can do it for even more people, a positive ripple effect can occur.

Sadly, I think the culture war is already over. The outage pornographers, the politically correct mob, and the masses of the learned helpless are winning. And they’re starting to get what they want, so we’ll see how that pans out for them. I have some ideas, but I won’t share them.

What does this mean for you?

It’s time for you to secede from the psyche of society. We just have to break apart from the outrage machine mentally, do our own thing, and hope they’ll just leave us the hell alone.
