Carl maintains a blog on a wide variety of stuff.
I have been researching developing nations and cultures, and various things in economics.
I have been to Asia once, Africa twice, Nicaragua 9 times - once for a few months. I had the good fortune to live and study in Italy for 4 years. I have shared some of my experiences in all those places in my blog. More recently, I have been worried about the state of our country politically and economically. That led to research into economics, political science, AND neurpscience. We are a VERY interesting collection of humans in this country - future researchers will hopefully help us understand what we are going through at the moment.

Whatever works. Stay Safe. We can do this.
These are some of my favorite blog entries - and why you might like them. If you do, there is a space to comment - or discuss. I like to think that my brain is not locked on anything as absolutely true. If you have an insight into one of these, I would love to learn it. Thanks.
Immigration. This is a hot topic now. I have read and studied it for a decade or so, and I found some wisdom in many places. Our political world needs to get moving on it, as the future of our country depends on secure borders, but also on the creative and gifted immigrants that we absolutely must welcome if we are to thrive at all. See what you think.

Hope for the Future
When the craziness around me gets out of hand, I try to remember the positive future I cast in this one. We have so much research on how humans think and learn, and so little application of it. I think we will some day figure it all out. This is my utopian vision of what we might accomplish with education - teaching people "How To Think."

I Wish You Well
I've been working on this pesonal self improvement stuff for quite some time. I had meditated for most of my life, and I taught Covey's Seven Habits for a few decades. But the MOST important learning that I ever got came from a criticism from a boss. He changed my life, and opened my brain to what actually is going on in most of us - we have a world framework that we never question - never look at. I was forced to look at mine, and it scared the blue blazes out of me. So I adopted a whole new mantra and perspective on life at an advanced age.

MY DIET
If you have been around me at all, you will quickly realize that my diet is 'abnormal.' In 2018, with severe heart disease, I adopted a Whole Food Plant Base Diet. Vegan with a vengeance. It cured my heart disease in 3 years. REALLY. My cardiolist said I need not return! This blog entry tells the whole story, and a bit of the research behind it. I am literally watching friends and relatives die from heart disease and cancer, when I KNOW that this diet would CURE them. But . . . See what you think.
