My Spring
The winter ends with the emergent crocus That violates the snow. Bright daffodils Add sun to melting sun. The fiery tulip Cups sun and dew before the watery iris Brings violet once again. The blood-tipped dogwood Flowers spread white beside the rosy redbud....

Prodigies and Autism
It is not in the least bit surprising to me that there has been found a connection between autism and child prodigies . It's not surprising to me because we already know about the "idiot savant," who as we now know are/were almost all people with autism. Th...

The Right Hand Path and the Left Hand Path and the Middle Way
In the Indian religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sihkism, and Jainism you have the Right Hand Path and the Left Hand Path. The Right Hand Path is the orthodox path; the Left Hand Path is the heterodox path. The Right Hand Path is typically collectivist in nat...

Preparing for a Culture
Education prepares you for culture, and the kind of education you receive will prepare you for particular kinds of cultures. A liberal education will prepare you for a liberal culture. An illiberal education will prepare you for an illiberal education. Ther...

What Is Neurotypical?
About 84% of the genes are expressed in the brain . Given that humans have 20,000 genes, that means about 16,800 genes are expressed in the brain. We should not be surprised, then, if we were to find more than a bit of variation in human brains. We should e...

Autistics Proven to Have Empathy
Here's a little something from the "I told you so" file. It turns out that, as I have argued before in this blog, autistic are hardly cold and unempathetic; quite the contrary, they are very empathetic and deeply moral . The connection to being deeply moral...

Today I have an article at The Pope Center on training vs. education . I wrote a blog post on it as well, here , where I use the same quotes, but make some different points. I think they mostly complement each other. George Leef also has a short piece at Na...

Might or Right
What sort of justice justifies you Gauls To dare demand this land, by threat of force And violence, from these, their rightful owners? What business do you even have to ride And raid through Etruria, barbarians? Because all things belong to those who, brave...
