Serena Williams, a tennis legend and one of the most famous Jehovah's Witnesses, stunned audiences with her surprise appearance at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show. However, are wealthy and famous Jehovah's Witnesses treated differently than ordinary members of the faith? youtu.be/bViYEEqudIo

Oh...and if you love reading, my new book drops at the end of the first quarter of 2025. #books #author

Happy New Year everyone! I hope your resolutions last longer than your leftovers.

This is where I will be spending my St Stephen's Day (Boxing Day). In the pool with a cooler. Enjoy your snow up in the north.

What?! No Christmas?! youtu.be/aD-KXJ9E6HY?...

The shit that goes down in Hollywood is just appalling. As if watching It Ends With Us is not traumatic enough. And then this... www.nytimes.com/2024/12/21/b...

Elon Musk's recent endorsement of Germany's far-right (AfD) party is profoundly disturbing. By declaring that "only the AfD can save Germany," Musk aligns himself with a party notorious for xenophobia, historical revisionism, and extremist ideologies that echo the darkest chapters of human history.

Judging by Trumps cabinet picks in critical posts it seems as if there is a concerted effort to stifle intelletualism and expertise in the U.S.

I was wrong about Jehovah's Witnesses. #exjw #exjehovahswitness #religion #billionaires youtu.be/rPc5ldit_bA?...

Good morning from a fine 27°C here in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Oh, and just a reminder, there are no ethical billionaires.

In the summer I captured The Ring in Montréal. It symbolizes the union of the past, present and future of the city.

I wonder what Elonia Musk's assistant wants to talk to me about? 🤔

Anti-intellectualism can be traced to the Church, which often positioned themselves as the sole arbiters of truth. In medieval Europe, the Church wielded immense power over knowledge, deeming certain ideas heretical. And today Christian Nationalism has been at the forefront.

“With no Whites here [in South Africa], the Blacks will go back to the trees.” —Errol Musk in a 2022 letter to his son Elon sethabramson.substack.com/p/the-truth-...

The rise of democracy was built on the idea that people should have a say in decisions that affect their lives, such as basic human rights, fair representation, etc. But over time, this evolved into a mindset that all opinions—whether from an expert or a random person—are equally credible.

Violence is never the answer, but neither is an economic system that pits the rich against the poor. The United Healthcare CEO shooting should spark deeper questions about how corporate greed fuels societal despair.

Has the U.S. become a plutocracy? www.investopedia.com/terms/p/plut...

If truth should be able to stand up to scrutiny, then why do Jehovah's Witnesses ban books written by former members?!

The fight against ignorance starts with self-awareness. Are we clinging to beliefs we’ve never questioned? Growth begins where comfort ends. #SelfReflection #TheCultOfIgnorance

Why are we so obsessed with the end of the world? youtu.be/QILI0M_jfmA?...

Ignorance isn't bliss; it's a cage. Reading, learning, and questioning are the keys to freedom. Let's break free together. #MentalFreedom #TheCultOfIgnorance #exjw

Ignorance thrives when curiosity is suppressed. Ask questions. Challenge assumptions. Seek truth. The antidote to ignorance is a mind that refuses to settle for easy answers. #CriticalThinking #TheCultOfIgnorance

Isaac Asimov once said, "The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom." Let's challenge ignorance by spreading knowledge and encouraging critical thinking every day. #TheCultOfIgnorance #KnowledgeIsPower

How outrage drives the spread of online misinformation. New work from @killianmcloughlin.bsky.social with Bluesky luminaries @klonick.bsky.social, @mjcrockett.bsky.social, @williambrady.bsky.social and colleagues. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adl2829

In this video, we dive into JWs history of converting indigenous peoples, often at the cost of erasing cultural traditions. Is conversion worth cultural suppression? youtu.be/D4ODAGjDh3o?...
