We live in the information era. Almost anything that you want to know is available to you 24/7, wherever you are, through your computer or your smartphone. What's more, with the advent of AI, if you choose to use it, you don't even need to do the searching yourself anymore. You just ask AI for the information that you are looking for, and it is presented to you with almost zero effort. This information era has changed the nature of business. While the North American economy has previously been built on engineering, manufacturing and resource development, it is increasingly being supported by information. This isn't scientific knowledge or inquiry. This isn't mathematical theory that may lead to future advancements in understanding. This information that appears to be the cornerstone of modern business is the personal information of each one of us. There are myriad "rewards" programs that are run by various companies. They offer points that you can use towards...

 I am going to be completely honest with you, this article is not what I originally wrote on this topic. When I wrote my first version of this article, I felt like I was writing under inspiration and it flowed out of me with fluidity. Unfortunately, thanks to the wonders of electronic writing, that article got lost to the black pit of the ether. While trying to recreate that which once was, I have felt like I have been writing under obligation rather than inspiration. That first article was so much better than this one. Alas, what has been cannot be undone, and as a result, we are all subjected to an inferior cogitation on a subject that deserves better. I have written previous articles talking about my aversion to and concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) and how much people are diving into it. This is a concern that will never go away and will likely only grow as time passes. Besides the ways in which people seem all too eager to give away their God-given responsibili...

 We have entered a time when we cannot be entirely sure of where the food that we are eating has come from or even how it has been processed. This is not something that most people will spend a lot of time thinking about, and that is probably exactly where the devil would like us to be and to stay. In Canada, we have enjoyed a strong supply of food from sources that have been predictable and safe; until now. In November I came across an article [a] that stated that Health Canada had recently made changes to the regulations around "novel foods", that is, new foods. This change was to remove the meat from cloned pigs and cows from the novel foods list, meaning that it is now possible to sell this cloned meat with no labelling specifying that it is cloned and not naturally grown. From what I could glean, this decision was reached not by any rigorous scientific study of the meat or by talking with the public about how we feel about cloned meat, but merely by reading reports fro...

   I want to delve into a heavy topic today. I know, it's not like I haven't done so before, but I just want to preface everything that follows with that...warning, if you will.  We are living in a time that even our own grandparents could have never envisioned occurring in their lifetime. When Daniel is speaking with the angel as is recorded in Daniel 12, he is told that, in the context of the end of time on earth, "knowledge will increase". We are witnessing that right now, at an unprecedented pace. In the early 1980's, Buckminster Fuller developed a Knowledge Doubling Curve Theory which has, arguably, correctly predicted the advance of human knowledge starting from ancient civilizations to today. His theory states that from the beginning of civilization up to around 1900, the advancement of human knowledge plodded along at a very slow pace which resulted in human knowledge doubling only over the course of centuries. There will be many reasons for this, not the ...

                                                          There is a concerning increase in the levels of mental health issues in the world today, and a large amount of those who are affected by this are our youth, adolescents and even our young adults. Now I am of the belief that continuously talking about a subject is not the way to curb its prevalence. In fact, I believe that it has the exact opposite effect. For example, if the left would stop continuously pushing the rhetoric that there is systemic racism in the west and convincing so many minorities that they are victims, then I am all but convinced that the 'scourge of racism' would not exist today, except in certain places where it is actually a cultural problem; yes, these places do still exist, but the issue is far less prevalent than the left would hav...

  Have you ever noticed how much you look at your phone, or your computer, or your TV, just to get the latest news on whatever it is that catches your interest? We can literally watch the news 24 hours a day now, and that's not to say that we can access news media at all times, but what I am saying is that there is news actively being disseminated literally 24 hours a day. Things didn't used to be this way. When I was growing up, and really for most of my life, news was available on a scheduled basis. Your newspaper would get delivered in the morning. The radio station would deliver news twice an hour during the morning show, then give an updated news broadcast during the lunch hour and another updated news broadcast while you were going home from work. The rest of the day was mostly entertainment. On TV, there was the morning show which included news updates or you could watch a dedicated morning news show, noon would deliver another news show, the supper hour would deliver ye...
