In The Montessori Child, I wanted to share how Simone Davies slid in more and more propaganda over the course of her works. She began with The Montessori Toddler, which did not stray too far left field, but by her latest book, the only thing a parent could take away from it was that your child must become a solider for justice, a woke warrior, a “peaceful protestor,” and an activist for the Marxist cause.

It’s been about nine months now since I had my first baby. As many new parents before me have said, “Going from no child to one is life-changing.” And, indeed, it is.

I was recently recommended a book called Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife by someone who was raised Catholic. Knowing that I was an atheist with more of an analytical mind, they believed that perhaps reading about heaven from a physician may help make me more open to believing that something did indeed exist after death—some sort of afterlife. A bit curious, I told them I would read it.

I wanted to touch on the doomsday cult case one more time to discuss the notion of “immortal love” with god and other people versus “mere” flesh and bone as the Hidden: A True Crime Podcast discusses in one of their episodes.

I just completed binge-listening to Hidden: A True Crime Podcast and their coverage of the entire Lori and Chad Daybell case.

To live “healthy, wealthy, and wise,” as John Clarke and more famously Benjamin Franklin said, is to live happily on this earth.

A friend brought this interview between Tucker Carlson and Bryan Johnson to my attention, and once the two gentlemen started delving into the “ethics of living forever,” I found myself shouting at the screen, “Objectivism!” I could not help myself, and I needed an outlet to vent.

Today’s show is going to be a very vulnerable one for me, but I am doing it purely for myself in my process of healing with the hopes that it may help other people who are struggling in similar ways.

I recently took Bradley Method childbirth classes to prepare for labor and part of the assigned reading was a bunch of podcasts and articles from Evidence Based Birth. This title is ironic, as several one-star reviewers pointed out, because the podcast cannot even admit what a woman is. Well, let me tell you that we are women.

Objectivism gave me the oxygen I needed amidst the barrage of confusion, trolley problems, anti-reality, magical, supernatural, illogical thinking washing over me from all sides of my higher education.

I felt compelled today to read this entire lecture given by Leonard Peikoff in 1986 because the message is still just as relevant, if not more so, today than back then.

Never have I felt more like a woman than now.
