• Does truth have an expiration date? Ben Swann's recent video regarding the scientific studies that have shown face masks are largely ineffective at preventing the transmission of viruses has been targeted by the narrative managers as "false" who say the information is old. Yet they offer no new data to refute the earlier data.  Check out Ben's newest video which follows up with a recent study, including data from the CDC and WHO, that further backs up his earlier one. 
• As an independent contractor, I'm watching very closely the various bills being proposed and enacted around the country that purport to "protect" those of us who work in the gig economy. Those of us who don't want to be anyone's employee should be very skeptical of these efforts. As Kim Kavin explains, legislation that mandates that companies convert independent contractors into employees tends to eliminate rather than protect jobs.
• Just how important is your reputation? James Walpole has a thought-provoking take on how our character may have impact in the here and now but it will also matter greatly to our descendants.
• One of the most powerful questions we can ask ourselves is: Why do I do what I do? People who can answer this with conviction are likely the ones who have devoted significant time and effort toward discovering and pursuing a personal purpose or mission. James Bovard has a great essay about why he writes that illustrates this point beautifully.
