BIG Mouth

Up until today, I think I have been fairly delicate with the easily manipulated among us as I work to dispel false narratives and empower people with practical knowledge regarding the most pressing matters. Today, however, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and I will pull no punches as I write this letter ... Dear Sheep, OK, some of you are already triggered ... and if you hate being referred to as sheep,...

Hey – I could use a little help here taking on the Goliath that is mainstream media in what I hope to become a Davidian revolution. Most in my network have observed the deep fractures in the traditional news media model as well as the troubling 21st-century trend of relying on social media influencers for interpretation of global goings-on. And while many have stepped forward to support the extremely accurate, trustworthy, and transparent brand of news journalism...

I took some heat online yesterday – including from longtime friends – because I implied through the use of the adjacent image that a lot of people are acting like sheep. First of all, I think that sheep are cute and useful animals, so it is hardly an insult. However, they tend to follow the herd, often to their detriment, and typically fail to learn lessons from their struggles – It’s time to have the talk...

"I don't want to talk about COVID. It's over." That is a common refrain for people who blindly trusted government and medical officials during the COVID pandemic. Most do not want to talk about it because they do not want to face the fact that they were played, and that they – especially those who publicly defended dishonest officials and vilified those who opposed government restrictions and mandates – had unwittingly become soldiers fighting for forces...

The highlight of my week was unquestionably being interviewed yesterday by budding author Micah Siegel as part of the research for his book on critical thinking and its troubling absence from western education systems. At THIRTEEN years old, Micah is a teenager on an unusual mission. He dropped out of school to go "on a journey of self-discovery," and founded his own school called the Rogue Scholars Academy. Whereas some in my network might think, "Oh my...

Has anyone else grown weary of personal attacks on politicians? So many in my network have been completely sucked into the political polarization vortex, spouting vitriol about people and groups they know little about. Republican, Democrat; Liberal, Conservative, Labour, Reform – we pick a side and then completely ignore the misgivings of our team while heaping criticism on the other side. Such behaviour is fun and harmless when it comes to backing professional sports teams, but it is terribly harmful when it comes to politics. Why...

Attention, critical thinkers with high integrity: You are not alone. Yes, it has been a frustrating past decade, watching much of the western world being run by ill-intentioned fools and elitist narcissists. But there is hope. We are assembling a community of people with brains and hearts who want to help make the world a better place for our children, our grandchildren, and ourselves. We believe that the best way to forge a path of prosperity and harmony is to help...

Last Saturday, I was excited to watch Team Canada take on the United States in a hockey matchup that I contend featured the most talented collection of players to ever take the ice. However, I got a sinking feeling just before the game when thousands of fans at Montreal's Bell Centre began booing as the U.S. anthem was sung (Montreal crowd boos US national anthem at USA vs Canada hockey game ). As a competitive athlete with...

To mark BIG Media Ltd.'s fourth birthday today, I highlight some of the incredible work produced by our all-star editorial team. This list represents just a fraction of the amazing body of work from a team made up almost entirely of accomplished scientists and engineers, all of it assembled without sensationalism or expert testimony (if you wonder why we do this, please assess the accuracy of our news content versus that of any media organization that uses...

A lot of people – including some close to me – have recommended that I be softer in my approach to illustrating the differences between BIG Media and other news platforms. They believe it reflects poorly on me and BIG Media Ltd. when I direct harsh criticism toward news media rivals. They believe it is unwise to write articles such as these: "Deciphering how (almost all) news media organizations get things so horribly wrong" "Reported culpability...
