Transgender activists have gained much political ground through use of the narrative that being trans is similar to being gay—a person is born this way, it cannot be changed, and to question this is harmful to a trans person’s well-being. The ironic thing is that many of these children are indeed gay, and as we’ll see, by being persuaded to transition, they are actually undergoing a new form of conversion therapy.
The End of Gender

When scientists analyze people who appear to have tremendous self-control, it turns out those individuals aren’t all that different from those who are struggling. Instead, “disciplined” people are better at structuring their lives in a way that does not require heroic willpower and self-control. In other words, they spend less time in tempting situations.

“We are not an e-commerce company, although we have the largest e-commerce business in the world. We’re not eBay. We do not buy and sell. We help people become an e-commerce company. We enable other companies to do e-commerce. This is the difference between us and Amazon. We believe every company should be an Amazon.”
Never Give Up

Earth’s Moon is about 1/400th the diameter of the Sun, but it is also 1/400th as far from us, making the Sun and the Moon the same size on the sky—a coincidence not shared by any other planet–moon combination in the solar system, allowing for uniquely photogenic total solar eclipses.
