That's a really insightful question, and there's a lot of nuance to the answer. It's not just you; many studies and observers have noted a shift in how younger generations, particularly Gen Z, approach tolerance and differing opinions. Here’s a breakdown of the key factors at play: The Paradox of Tolerance Younger generations often show higher levels of tolerance for diversity in terms of race, sexual orientation, and gender identity than older generations. Pew Research Center studies have consistently found that Gen Z and Millennials are more likely to view things like same-sex marriage and a growing multiracial society as a good thing. However, this is where the paradox comes in. Many of the same studies and cultural commentators note that this high level of social tolerance is often accompanied by a lower tolerance for differing political or ideological viewpoints, particularly those seen as a threat to these social values. The Role of "Cancel Culture" and Soci...
Dedicated to Don... This is my first entry, and frankly, the trigger for it was not good. I should have woken up this morning feeling sympathy and certainly empathy for an individual that will remain nameless here. Who he is, is not important, just that he has been a lifelong friend, and now that life is hanging in the balance. Many of us say we are pro-life without understanding the breadth of that statement.

That life is just as precious as anyone else, it is unique and has never been repeated and will never be repeated in the entirety of history. Each of us has a very unique DNA makeup that has never happened, nor will ever happen again. 5 years ago on March 15, 2018, I was driving down state street in Salt Lake City, Utah. I don't recall exactly where I was going, nor ...

By cooking your steak low and slow at first, and finishing it off with a sear at the end, you can achieve a perfectly cooked, juicy steak with a delicious crust. Here's how to reverse-sear a steak: Choose your steak: The first step is to choose a high-quality steak. Look for marbling (also known as intramuscular fat), which will make your steak juicy and tender. Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Season your steak: Season your steak generously with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like. Slow-cook your steak: Place your steak on a wire rack over a baking sheet and transfer it to the oven. Cook until your steak reaches an internal temperature of about 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare (or your desired doneness). This could take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the thickness of your steak. Rest your st...
