Navigating toward the Wisdom-Associated Values and away from the Negative Values
We either navigate the Innovation Age with the wisdom-associated values while learning to shun the negative values or America and the world are going to suffer greatly. At least in America, we still have a stable and robust democracy (while not prosperous) and, as Abraham Lincoln stated, “The ballot is stronger than the bullet.” There…
Read MoreThe Importance of Positive Values
I have been following the many elections across the globe. The more I think about India’s election, the more I like it. As Prime Minister, Modi can and I think will, become a great leader, not only in India, but eventually with great respect globally. The elections in the Ukraine are encouraging, too; the election…

The elections both this year and in 2016 are critical to our nation, its people, and the world. Here in Louisiana, I will do my part to help elect a fine Congressman to the Senate, Bill Cassidy, M. D. This can very well give Republicans a majority in the Senate and help lower the downside…
Read MoreCultivating Good Behavior, Values, and Beliefs
I find myself thinking really big. We are in The Innovation Age and we must innovate in all human activities, including government, education, religions, business, and science. At the same time we must allow our spiritual leaders and others to help everyone, first, to improve our behavior (what we say and do), second, to work…

Life can and is a struggle, but overcoming adversity – especially over time – can lead us to rewards that just wouldn’t be there if we didn’t earn them. A world full of stable, robust, prosperous democracies will be a world of permanent peace. Globalization can help us in many ways, most readily in prosperity. …

It’s important for the future of our nation and the world that we educate our young in a neutral way so that as they mature they can become wise, capable and honest voters; and, in the process, elect leaders with those essential qualities. Values are so necessary in the cultivation of the mind, body and…

The key to moving toward Heaven on Earth from the Innovation Age is human enhancement—especially the spread of the wisdom-associated values—and the shunning of the negative values, as enumerated by Copthorne MacDonald in his essay in my book, “How to Achieve a Heaven on Earth.” In his essay, MacDonald explained that wisdom could be taught. I believe…
Read MorePositive Values: Comprehensive Knowledge
Only God has comprehensive knowledge. However, we all possess one degree or another of humankind’s rapidly expanding body of knowledge. But now, in the 21st century, each individual’s knowledge—and our comprehensive knowledge—must out-race the technology which is forging ahead at a rapid rate. I think humankind can “out-race” technology, but only if we try very hard…
Read MorePositive Values: Creativity
We all possess creativity to one degree or another. The foundation for the greatest creativity requires a lot of knowledge; but remember what that genius, Albert Einstein, said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Directing one’s imagination toward production and fruitful endeavors, rather than such pursuits as crime or the harm of others, is all-important.
Read MorePositive Values: Universal Wellbeing
This particular value is not stated, to my knowledge, in the ancient books of the world’s religions. However, I am sure it is implied. We need to think of ourselves as world citizens along with our many other identities. We need to cheer for all others! We really can do this if we allow our good values…
