Todd Hayen It is simply this: do not tire, never lose interest, never grow indifferent—lose your invaluable curiosity and you let yourself die. It’s as simple as that. Tove Jansson, Fair Play I have been pondering for years why shrews are shrews and sheep are sheep (sorry if you don’t like my terms, it is …
Todd Hayen You are not destroying the planet. You are not a cancer to the earth that must be wiped out. You are not killing your neighbour, or your neighbour’s children, by not wearing a mask. You are not responsible for the death of untold millions because you didn’t get the vaccine. Yeah, you are …
Todd Hayen One thing I believe my bent toward metaphysics has prepared me for is when something that falls into the realm of the “unseen” then becomes “seen,” I don’t freak out. The material world, or the material view of the world, has been rather stable for quite some time. Or at least it has …
Todd Hayen One of the cool things (or so it seems) about Canada is National Health Care. A bad thing that comes with it (among many) is the government can, and will, stick its nose into your personal health business.

Todd Hayen Remember those dot games? Where you would spend hours going through a book of numbered dots, connecting them with a line starting at a dot numbered “1” and continuing until an image of something revealed itself? Some of these things I remember as being really complex. And some of them were so complex …
Todd Hayen Aren’t you tired hearing about masks? Mask-talk is almost as ubiquitous as Hitler-talk. Well, if the shoe fits…Just because we are tired hearing about appropriate things to discuss, does not mean they should not be discussed. At least that is how I see it. Obviously. Mask-talk may be annoyingly worn thin, but seeing …
Todd Hayen I remember a time when people were left to their own devices when determining what to pay attention to and what to ignore. Remember “Bat Boy?” A strange Weekly World News (sister tabloid to the National Enquirer) creation set to terrorize and dismay. Did anyone really believe this? I doubt if many did. …
Todd Hayen I just saw a headline that was in line with the prevailing insanity, but it really seemed to be heavier than the usual straw lying on the camel’s back. “Pupil who questioned classmate ‘identifying as a cat’ called ‘despicable’ by teacher” Telegraph, 18/6/23 Really? At the beginning of this global illness I thought …
