Todd Hayen Remember the bad kids in high school? The ones who didn’t make it onto the honour roll or the dean’s list? In my day they were the long-haired kids (the boys) who wore James Dean-style denim jackets and smoked in the bathrooms. I doubt if those kids in the ’70s even knew who …
Todd Hayen Maybe using the word “insane” is overkill, but it makes a better title than using the word “troubled” or something equally innocuous. But maybe “Insane” actually might be the more accurate word to use because this article addresses people who willingly went along with the vaccine fiasco without a tinge of resistance or …
Todd Hayen Any group of human beings who are supposedly in a free society and who have a leader (or a council of people who lead), assigned by that group to make decisions for the common interests of the group, must rely on their own “self-regulation,” above and beyond the leaders’ government, in order to …
Todd Hayen When all this Covid crap started up my primary concern was why most people did not see what we saw. Then I began to realize they did see a lot of it, or at least most of them did, and they just didn’t care. It is difficult to believe that people would not …
Todd Hayen The goals of the UN’s sustainable development agenda are rather pie-in-the-sky targets. But who in their right mind would give them a thumbs down if there was reason to believe they could be achieved? Here they are if you are not familiar with them: No poverty. Zero hunger. Good health and well-being. Quality …
Todd Hayen Think for a moment about what you really care about. Let’s say you are an average working Joe or a partnered mother with three kids. You have a family, a medium-sized house, two cars. One for your husband to go to work in, the other for you to do your family errands—or the …
Todd Hayen The ultimate “good for you” is to be dead. At least that is what it would be if some outside authority, or entity, was watching our human behaviour and assessing what looks to be the “best” for us–meaning that if we are dead, nothing bad can happen to us. I would assume that …
Todd Hayen I read Marx and Engels’ The Communist Manifesto when I was 17, and I got detention for it. Actually, I got the detention for reading it in class, and then got a lecture for being interested in its subversive un-American content by the assistant principal while I was in detention. The details are …
Todd Hayen Here I go with the mask thing again, sorry, but a strange thing is happening with this around the world. It seems that wearing a mask is slowly becoming a sort of natural expectation. At first, it is showing up arbitrarily, for no particular reason. Maybe people wake up one morning and just …
Todd Hayen Everyone knows Maslow and his pyramid of needs, right? Don’t feel bad if you don’t; it is just one of those psychological concepts psychologists like to come up with to illustrate explanations of the weird human mind. Not to diss Maslow, he was pretty cool. And a lot of these guys (and gals) …
