Vegan and Cruelty Free? - I recorded a video about the concept of cruelty free and veganism. Not all of my thoughts were in this video and I hope to do a part II. I have a lot on my plate today but I wanted to get a video out there about it as it’s a very hot topic right… Continue reading Vegan and Cruelty Free?
12% of Americans aren’t sure if the Earth is round. - A new study by Yougov was released in which 8215 American adult respondents answered that they either doubt or are not sure whether the Earth is round. WTH?! There was a relationship between how religious someone was and their denial of a round Earth.
We Are All Cousins! - Originally Posted at: familyoriginstree.com reposted at: amazinglife.bio Updated: 04/06/2018 Did you know that we are all related? Yes, we are all family.

Again, the quality will suffer for a while until I can gather the funds to get better equipment but it’s a start. Visit my channel and follow me.… Continue reading New Platform to Broadcast
“I am afraid that we are failing ourselves and our collective future. We need a society that encourages rational thought, critical thinking, intellectual honesty, humanism, freethought, scientific thinking, honesty, courage, and the freedom to question. In our schools, we need passionate educators that love their fields and who know how to impart that passion onto others. Teachers passing content knowledge exams and achieving high student test scores will not fix: our unsupported biases, our dichotomous political system, our religious and cultural intolerances, our greed, the celebration and perpetuation of violence, a rising anti-intellectualism, the constant fake news, our gleeful and purposeful ignorances. To move towards a more enlightened world, we must continue to reach out through civic passion, patience, purposeful listening and understanding, self-reflective honesty, and we must produce truly decent and intelligent citizens for our youth to model. As educators, parents, and concerned citizens, we can begin by placing a foot on the right path, by at least modifying our curriculum in all fields, in ways which help to drive aspects of what we wish our society to eventually become. In time, hopefully we can produce a world that is far better off than we are now. With conscientious effort, we can avert this idiocratic dark age that we appear to be spiraling into. It begins, with you.” – Reginald V. Finley Sr
What is Critical Thinking?
My favorite video about Critical Thinking by Qualia Soup:
“Reggie is a great communicator in media or in person who connects with his audience with genuine enthusiasm. He applies the communication knowledge and skills, applying his education and training with great people skills. From what I have seen of his work I have no doubt that one day, this man will be a superstar in the field of education and training.”
“This man knows science, he knows teaching, and–best of all–he knows how to reach others, especially young people, in ways that tap into their curiosity. He develops a thirst for new knowledge and demonstrates ways of learning, not just facts.”
