Poetry is New Thoughts

April 20, 2022August 3, 2022 / Thomas Cannon author / 1 Comment

Writing helps our brain think of things in new ways.  It helps us edit out the name calling before we interact with others.

Poetry Can Bring us Together

February 9, 2022January 30, 2023 / Thomas Cannon author / 1 Comment

Whenever I have a new project, I begin by writing.  That was when I made the connection to something I have been exploring for a long time.  The essential skills to having a good life.  One of those is writing.

      Super Facts

      The goal of this blog is to create a list of super facts. Important facts that are true with very high certainty and yet surprising, misunderstood, or disputed by many. This blog aims to be challenging, educational, and fun, without it being clickbait. I determine veracity using evidence, data from reputable sources and longstanding scientific consensus. Prepare to be challenged (I am). Intentionally seek the truth not confirmation of your belief.
