Simone de Beauvoir helps to define a Left version of Libertarianism; give me the freedom and space to find my life’s meaning without interference and respect everyone else’s right to do the same. Sounds like a promising social contract.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

I am impressed that Michigan Democrats nominated this guy for Senate. I only knew of the caricature being portrayed of El Sayed. This interview gives a great introduction into an impressive candidate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7MV...

Been loving studying Simone de Beauvoir. Her existentialism is so pertinent to linking philosophy with living. Freedom for one to make meaning of their life is dependent on freedom for all to do the same.

Different ways of describing God are fascinating. Here is a new one for me offered by my research assistant Comet by Perplexity: "Whitehead’s “Eros of the Universe” is his name for the divine, non-coercive lure within reality toward richer forms of value, beauty, intensity, harmony, and novelty."

Can you believe that Trump’s $5000 give away claim to every adult in America is actually making this much news today!? It suggests people, including the media, still believe this guy at some level. Here is my credibility level, 0.

I do not try to monetize my writing. Also, my self-promotion skills are woefully lacking. What I like to do is write essays, refine the craft, and hope someone out there enjoys reading them. Really…nothing more to it. billryanwritings.com

What does, "It's the economy, stupid!" actually mean for most voters? It's simple; lower costs and increase wealth for average working people.
